Constructed by Turks Shipyard, this large remote-control model miniature was used for underwater exterior shots of the submarine. Based on the design of vintage Soviet Victor-class nuclear submarines, this version has no capacity for a crew and would have been controlled by one person wearing full diving equipment with breathing apparatus.

Weighing approximately five tonnes, the model comprises an internal frame constructed from a combination of plywood and metal, with a black fibreglass exterior shell featuring multiple small square faux-ballast tank ports. Various features adorn the outside of the submarine, including eight oval-shaped torpedo launchers at the front, moveable sail planes, a rudder, a metal brass-coloured propeller, an opening hatch at the top and three winch points for transportation purposes. Four air tanks, a hydraulic control mechanism and ballast tanks are housed inside the piece, with an engine fitted towards the back and the base of the model is hollow.

Due to being stored outside for many years, the submarine displays signs of wear, including paint wear, missing decals and signs of the wood weakening at the top. The model is missing aerials, plates at the stern and the submarine’s propeller cap.
