I really like those portholes--for obvious (shipbuilding) reasons.
I do hope the service packs include multiple portholes in grey.
From the instruction photos I saw, the thinwalls are indeed pre-printed.

I only want some of the specialized parts--but I wouldn't mind parting

service packs--it would cut down on my work and eliminate the debt float,
and besides, I'd feel bad about parting out too many 10020s.
