Vacuum canopy - best practice

Hi all !

I am working on P-51 (Tamiya 1/48) and the kit does not have an open canopyoption (Malcolm).So I cat off the front site and used it as a Malcolm hood. It does not fit. SO I reworked the canopy so it fits so so. Not perfect.

I grabbed squadron.com vacuul formed canopies and … it took me an hour to get one piece !

Since this is my first model, and my first attempt to use vacuum canopy I would like to know if there is a better way of getting them prepared.

iAny hnts are welcome. (I already search google but faund canopy making instead of “implementing”
