You can sand and polish it out if you are careful about it. Use one of the multi step sanding kits that goes up to 12000 as it's finest and final sanding, then polish with 3 grades of Novus.

I agree, this is my first options as well.

Then, if this does not work then you can try to cust relpacement glass from clear styrene or acetate sheet, or try to find a replacement part here in the "wanted" section. What kit glass was this?

As suggested above, I've had excellent results by wet-sanding with 800 grit paper (courser if required to remove pitting, or finer if the damage isn't deep), followed with progressively finer and finer grits of sandpaper, WET, all the way up to 12,000. This is just like polishing paint, and is the exact same procedure used to remove scratches from real aircraft acrylic canopies, windshields and windows. It should look almost perfect after the12,000 grit sanding, and a vigorous polish with a very fine abrasive compound (Novus, 3M, etc.) should do the trick. It's kind of a lot of work, but it WILL work with enough effort put into it.
