Scale: Unknown. A waterline model of a cargo vessel. The streamlined hull is painted pale grey, with a green stripe at the waterline and white upper parts.

The superstructure is placed towards the stern and painted white. At the front of the upper deck is a radar mast and aft of it a single funnel painted canary yellow. On either side of the funnel is a pair of lifeboats on davits. There is a further cargo hatch at the stern served by a pair of derricks.
