Old Dutch Torpedoboats

Guys, I'm looking for drawings of Dutch (pre-) WW1 torpedoboats, like the G-class and ships like Empong, Cerberus, Krokodil, Scylla etc. Any tips welcome.

Have you tried H. Fock's Schwarze Gesellen? It's at the other place so I can't look it up right now, but presumably he has at least a side elevation.

If it's not urgent - and you don't happen to have access to it - I can look it up next weekend.

I've never heard of that book, but if it has any info I could use, gladly!

Only thing I have now are measurements from Jane's and some B&W pictures.

Michel,

I only had the chance to do a brief check - and while the text doesn't have suitable drawings, there are some gorgeous fold-out plans at the back of the book of three early Dutch craft, Scylla among them. I'd guess they are about 1/150 to 1/100 (it would be tempting to actually make a 1/72 model out of that...).

I have checked with the KB, but they don't seem to have it. Do you happen to have access to any German library? If not, what I can do is simply copy them onto A3 sheets and send them to you via surface mail (as I unfortunately forgot to take the book with me

that might take two or three weeks :sorry:

).
