The side of the ship is depicted by ribbands attached to frame moulds. Seven gun ports are indicated by white frames situated on one continuous deck. The sheer rises towards both ends. One wale is indicated and is painted black. The bow features an empty beakhead with two cheeks positioned directly on the beakhead, and a black knighthead. The stern has a round tuck and a hollow counter. The model does not have a taffrail or quarter galleries. Below the stern a straight, square-headed rudder is indicated. The hull is S-bottomed and painted white below the waterline. The position of three masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form.

Scale (derived) approx. 1:40.
