Don't do any of these! The canopies are correct! On the real aircraft, when open, the rear cockpit canopy slides forward, under the fixed centre canopy, and the front cockpit canopy slides over the centre section. This means there is a space between the edges of the canopies, and the outer edge of the cockpit sill.
Note that each section of main canopy is slightly tapered towards its trailing edge, which can be seen (just!) when viewed from above.
For the rear, fixed screen, seal the joint with PVA, repeating as required and, when dry, paint over it. This will totally blend-in the rear screen.
Anyway, here's a pic of where the rudder actuating cable fits. The hole has been drilled in the front of the access panel, with the cable, from stretched sprue, yet to be fitted. The small groove in the panel is the channel the cable sits in, and there is a cable on each side of the fuselage.
Hope this helps.
