[the black knight]

alright, im giving up the ghost on the u-9. all of my efforts to find plans have failed, so since i want to do a WWI sub why not try the famous u-35? i have a few decent photos of her, and would like some more. i also am woundering if you guys know where i can find line drawings, plans, or anything for hull shape and length. thanks in advance.

I, too, am interested in building a WWI U-boat. Does anyone one know where I can find a copy of said text? Or, better yet, if anyone has this, would they be willing to scan & send for reference?

WWI Sub stuff is so

WWI Sub stuff is so hard to get hold of !!
I would try model shows for books on WW1 subs, and also online bookshops. 2nd hand bookshops can turn up some gems from time to time.

There is a copy of the Eberhard Rossler book available at the TORPEDO JUNCTION site - Good for naval history books - (scroll about half way down the list and look for the picture of the book cover The U-Boat)

Thanks for the reply &

Thanks for the reply & info. Have picked up Rossler's book which is full of detail, but still seeking full set of plans.

Combat Models claim to offer a full set of plans with their hull kit. Will know soon once their parcel arrives.
