had the same problem also with revell's 1/48 GR 7/9 , I was cheeky to email hasegawa and make like it was one of theirs and got a replacement within a week.

Still waiting on revell lol.

Bell up Airfix or mail them they should replace it for you.

My solution for canopies wider than fuselages is to glue a sliver / slivers of plasticard between the top of the fuselage halves, in front of & behind the cockpit, to widen it slightly.

That usually works. ( It's worked on my 1/72nd scale Airfix TSR 2, amongst others ).
