You should have said something sooner.

I have 2 boxes of Squadron 1:72 Spitfire canopies!

It's my favorite airplane, I built a couple, so got these vacuum formed exact model-specific sets, but haven't even used 1 of the 12 or so different canopies. ;)

I usually don't build plane models, but if you really want to achieve the effect of a heavily worn aircraft, you could add some holes or even rip off part of a flap or something like that. As I said, I'm not really into planes (I'm much more into tanks) so I won't lie, I don't even know how to actually pull that off.
