There's two narrow aluminum strips on the canopy centerline extending from the rear frames for both pilot and RIO about 2/3 forward - crew protection from lightning strikes.

 

If there's a single line through the whole canopy in a scale model kit, that's the result of moulding process and should be eliminated.
