Description: | Scale: Unknown. A waterline model of a passenger vessel. The hull is painted black with brick red at the waterline and a fine white stripe above that runs the entire length of the hull, and white upper parts. The hull also has a rubbing strake running its length. The decks are pale cream colour. The foredeck is largely devoid of fittings apart from anchor cable gear and a hatch cover, painted light grey.
The superstructure is painted white with a convex front elevation, and the accommodation is shown by groups of portholes arranged over two decks. There is an open bridge deck that opens out into a pair of bridge wings, in the centre of which is a pilot house. Atop the pilot house is a radar gantry and abaft of it, a radio mast. There are eight lifeboats on the boat deck arranged in two rows, port and starboard. Between them is a single funnel, painted ochre with a black top. To the rear of the boat deck is a second radio mast. The main passenger deck, situated aft, contains what appears to be a number of benches and the deck has two wide, rectangular entry ports into the vessel. There are similar entry ports on the aft deck.
On base of model "426".
