The dark windows will have lots of uses.

When I first held the JS canopy, I thought that the strips were plate
thickness and plate aligned. Only when I tried to put it together did a
relize they where not.
Thet were white turntable bases, but I have since changed them and the flat
part of the roof to gray (I only had one gray turntable, but then I realized
that one came in that same JS set - my three year old son was playing with
the rest of that set. He was very un-happy when he saw that I took the
wings and the front of the plant to make a train.). It looks good because
the lip on http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=2875 hides most of
the gray when seen from the side.
