Only issue is see is the height should be 35 cm but mine is 40 cm tin to top or 42 cm including wood base
Also in the Bing 1912 catalogue is 180 degrees out to mine
The chimney diameter at base is 5 cm
This should clean up very well. I'm not sure what that means, the Bing catalog is 180 degrees out to mine.
But I wouldn't complain too much about the stack being longer. Don't nip the tip! ;D
On mine firebox on my left with door facing me . Engine on my right .
Catalogue i have fire box on right with door facing me and engine on my left
Catalogues usually are mirror images that flip orientation.
Mine has the same orientation as yours.

Congratulations for acquiring this amazing Bing hot air engine. Height is not an issue; you’re very lucky to have stack with it. I would focus on adjusting the cooling fins spacing, and treating the firebox rust by stopping corrosion progression.
My plan. Is chimney and fire box is clean derust and possibly heatproof flat black paint .
Flywheel rim derust and light oil . Rest is just gently clean . Space fins evenly
Cheers
