That's a brasso'd canopy from the UCS Tie Fighter. It looks like CRAP in the stock configuration, but when you Brasso off all the hokey looking gray printing on it, it looks really fantastic!

Actually, I just realized that another 1x4x6 "juniorized" black panel I had was non-LEGO today. Brian taught me how to look. If it doesn't say LEGO on the studs then its not LEGO. This sounds obvious, but this particular piece really looked like a (...) (24 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

Hi, You can get those in the Y-wing (in the Tie/Y-Wing set). They are part of the engines. A while back, this was on sale as a "combo" back for 1/2 price at Toys R Us.
