The instructions for the set and the peeron inventory show the "spider tank" has having clear 1 x 2 x 4 panels. However, my set came with "smoke" 1 x 2 x 4 panels. The 1 x 4 x 4 panels are clear like they should be. Is this a 1-off error or has it (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.au)
