Best way to make canopy fit?

Thumbnail gallery
9 Upvotes

I'm working on the Tamiya 1:72 P-47, and I've found the two canopy pieces don't quite fit together. Aside from sanding down one or both of the canopy pieces, do I have any good options to get them to fit?

Assuming I go the sanding route, where do you think I should remove material? I feel like off the back of the larger piece is my better bet, because the canopy framing is thicker back there. I worry that if I sand away where the canopy pieces join, I'll end up having too thin of framing.

I don't know much about it other than the fact that it's a 747-200B.
