The hull was proportioned more closely to that of a Tiger, while still preserving the distinct look of the original movie prop. Additional plating and heavy reinforcement were integrated to create a structurally sound foundation.

Significant portions of the interior structure were removed to reduce weight, enhancing performance and opening up areas that were previously inaccessible.
