A superstructure was added to the hull made from 6mm modelling plywood. The shape was simple with a raked back windscreen and a tapered rear section. It was secured to the hull with 2 screws. Inside the cabin a hole was cut in the deck for the boiler and engine assembly. |

The hull was painted using enamel paint in a two-tone scheme. A silver line was stuck on and then a clear lacquer was used to coat both the inside and outside to make the hull waterproof. The upper part of the boat was also painted in metallic Blue with a silver speed stripe.

At the back of the boat were the twin propellers and twin rudders. |
