     (...) If you mean the 1/2-canopy part itself, it's well-known, if only from the 2002 Ep II Slave I (where they are in both sand-green and dark blue).

     (...) I highly doubt I do, but it comes in a variety of sets, including: 4587 Duel Racers 4585 Nitro Pulverizer 4589 RC Nitro Flash 4511 High Speed Train 7031 Helicopter (which also shows four white half-bushings in the 2003 PB?) 4793 Ogel Shark Sub (...)

   (...) They are apparently also available in set (URL) #10028 Level Crossing>. Sources say it'll be $50 for 325 pieces. Also, I think 10028 has better pieces for space creations ((URL) see here>) Hope this helps, (URL) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
