Are there any good general references for submarines used in WWI comparable to Erminio Bagnasco’s Submarines of World War 2?

Your best bet with regard to British WWI submarines is BR-3043:

There are also plans on the Royal Museum Greenwich site, although only relatively small previews are availble for free; the actual scans are unreasonably expensive even for personal use:

In terms of American submarines, many plans can be found on NARA's website:

The only set of drawings I am aware of that is sufficient to create an accurate model are those of the T-class:

I am building Das Werk SM U-9 kit, and I like to pair it with a scratch built companion in the form of contemporary early modern submarine, such as a british D or E class. The other submarine should be recognizably modern, but still has quaint or bizarre (compare to fully mature designs) features of a pioneer.

the main road block is a good set of plans. Does anyone know where i can find good plans of an early modern submarine? nationality is not important, the era should ne between 1900-1914
