Scans of the original shipyard drawings for the Dutch mtb's can be downloaded from the Dutch National Archives:

visit this page

The website is in Dutch, but Google translate should do the job

go to section 1.2 (Stoom- en Motorschepen), continue to subsection 1.2.14 (Torpedo- en kanonneermotorboten.) Items 1841-1850 are drawings for the British Powerboat Co mtb's built by Gusto Schiedam. A set of 10 drawings in 1/12 scale

explanation:
1841 - profile
1842 - linesplan and bodyplan
1843 - 1850 - cross sections

downloading is easy, click on an entry, than click on "bekijk de scans" (view the scans). click on the "scans" tab, or the thumbnail image to view the drawing. on the right side of your screen you should see a "direct downloaden" (direct download) button. click on this button and after 20 seconds the download should start. if not click on the upperlink in the pop-up screen.
the drawings are royalty free, so you can do anything you want with those drawings.....

and if you do have time left, just browse the complete section, besides some famous Dutch warships as Java & De Ruyter, you will find shipyard drawings for some British and American warships as well. (aircraft carriers, fleet destroyers, escort destroyers) etc etc

have fun

still searching for some info about the faith of the mtb's built for the Kriegsmarine during ww2
