Did not know it was used for anything other than Mars Lander.

I did not realize that.

RT-99 is too short anyway.

If they had ST-36, it is close enough in size, but none of those either.

The only course of action is to get some BT-100 or BT-101 and cut out a little bit.

The BT-100 is 3.744?. That seems close enough for an upscale.

I'm afraid that I am a bit of a stickler with upscaling, treating them more like scale than sport scale projects.

Practically speaking, a 0.022" difference means having to adjust the size of the wood parts

It should be renamed to the not-so-limited-edition Starlight!
