Hello everybody,

Reading the highly recommendable book "One of our submarines" by Edward Preston Young I became interested in British Submarines of ww2 and loosely considered building a model of the S-Class Type.
Searching the web for this type of submarine I found a lot of text but very few drawings which might be useful for modelling.
(i found out already that OTW designs is offering a kit but I'm thinking of scratch building).
My question: Does anybody know a source where to obtain plans or otherwise a book which includes suitable drawings of the (late war) S-class submarine type?

Best regards
Stefan

Does this plan help you? If needed I have a much larger scanned version of this file too.

I'll check later at home but I am certain that I have some blueprints for a late war version.

Hello Maarten, I sent you a pm. I'd be happy to get larger version.

I don't think these drawings are all that helpful, mainly because the S Class took many forms.
Here is HMSS Scotsman before conversion to a 'slippery S'

Here you can see her many forms -

In the last photo, her saddle tanks have been removed, her torpedo tubes covered, guns removed and the conning tower replaced with a streamlined sail.

I have hundreds of photos of S Class boats and many detailed drawings. Do you have a specific boat in mind?

What's absolutely baffling is how long it's taken for a kit of this important (and aesthetically attractive) type to appear- in any scale! I have mine already and it's a true Starling product; excellent in every way.
