As for your original question, it compares favorably with the Accurate-Armour offering that I built many moons ago. Many suggested it was a blatant copy but it was not. At any rate, you’re stuck with it!
If you apply the same skills to this as you did to your Chieftain it’ll be a great build for sure.

Yeah I did see your original post up top, and helped push towards the buy.
I have had a good look at the parts in the box and I am pretty happy with how it all looks. Will be sticking with the box tracks as I always get them to look fine. Not a fan of wasting money on extra bits if its not needed. Same as the barrel. I can easily work with that and the normal barrel in the box is fine, I can grab a few mm back from the bellows as they look a tad to long, and a few extra mm from the extractor end of the barrel to reduce the length there as well.
The bellows are not an issue either. Some times people forget that even if you see one or twenty wagons with bellows that sag, they dont all do it. The reason the bellows sag is because of the amount of times the gun has been fired and the bellows perform their concertina movement stretching it and thus letting the bellows loose their rigidity …if that happens enough the bellows start to extend causing the sag to show. A new bellows is pretty hard and keeps its shape for a good period of time. Mine will simply be a newly fitted bellows.

If the word ‘bellows’ was replaced with something else …
