Other features and fittings include a long fore deck with a gun mounted, painted black; stump foremast and mainmast; nine unidentified grey superstructure fittings; and single stump funnel (currently missing). The model is displayed on a backboard painted off-white with a mahogany-stained frame. On plaque attached to top left-hand side of backboard ‘Talbot’.
