Classic space set Solar Power Transport has them in grey. I still have all
four of mine. These are funky corner pieces, and I can totally see why they've
not been reissued. I wish that the "pockets", the concave areas, were inside.
It's hard to explain, but the piece looks inside out to me and I'd rather have
it the other way around. I've never seen them transparent, so I don't know why
they're being called "windows", though they work well next to 4741 outward
sloping space windows. They're like 2468 corner convex pieces which, imo, are
a superior design. Maybe the guy has his part # wrong and it is 2468, which
has been available in transparent colors, as you might know.

Anyone know how these were used, and in which sets?
