The left hand side of the model is painted in a multi-chrome splinter camouflage scheme of Dark khaki, Grass green, Sand, Red-brown, and Light grey. Details of the vehicle's full size dimensions and turning circle are overpainted in white enamel. The hull of the model is painted dark khaki green on its left hand side. The model does not appear to have ever had provision for motorisation. The entire upper surface of the model is open, allowing the interior steering mechanism to be visible. This has the effect of warping the track towards the direction of travel. The individual track links could themselves pivot on one another.
It was steered by pivoting the front sprocket drive through a small radius.
The vehicle is propelled by two continuous tracks on each side of the hull, running on 8 double bogies, with a drive sprocket on one end and an idler at the other. The hull of the model is fabricated from steel plate. A contemporary photograph of the model - J00300 - is also held by the Memorial. A 1/8 scale model of the lower hull and running gear of a tracked fighting vehicle designed by Lancelot 'Lance' De Mole.
