Hi,
I'm interested in V-1 class submarine too. Anyone could help me with the plans? Thank you! I'm looking for PDF plans as I'm in Europe and shipping from the US(I found that the V-1 class submarine plans are from the US) too much time and it will be easy to get lost.


There are some high-res scans of the original plans on the NARA website:

Depending on where you live, you can go in yourself. Or you can tell them what you are looking for and have them scan a high resolution copy of it, burn it to a CD and mail it to you (for a fee of course). You want to try the Cartography section at the NARA College Park, MD. Commonly referred to as Archive II.

Thanks for your reply, I will try them, as most of the plans I have seen to date are not very good quality.

Thanks Again.

I am looking for a set of detailed plans suitable to build a 1/96 scale static model, can anyone help? I have plenty of photographs but need an accurate plan layout.
Any help would be most appreciated.
