They look great and a nice subject to work on. A much forgotten part of both world wars.

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 |

Dear Foute Man:
You are an excellent resource and asset to the forum! All those diagrams are very useful. Regarding the TM 51 to 53 they look very similar (identical?) to PT-9 that Mr. Scott-Paine sold to the US Navy and the basis for the Elco 70', 77' and 80' classes of PTs. As for the boats completed by the Germans they did a transformation of the hull from a length of 21.3m to 28.3 m and from a beam of 6.1 m to 4.46 m! Growth hormones and Slim Fast?

By the way, Froute Man some time ago posted a site that has a collection of the Marabout Junior, there, there is a model of a Vedette Rapide, a Vosper Air Sea Rescue. But I can't read the "longueure" 20m???
http://ggmc.free.fr/maquette/index_2.html the Vospers were 68' about 20.7 m. Different marks were produced between 1949 to 1971 of the Rescue and Towing Launches. Non have the serial 2135. RAF Boats Could this be the same? ps: I am telling you Froute, you are an asset! Last edited by wireandpaper; 11-22-2019 at 12:54 AM. |

Yes
Thanks for asking GlueIt:
yes, all my models are 1/400 including planes, dirigibles and tanks (with very few exceptions, but I do notice that). |

Unfortunately I cannot find the exact posts about the mtb that were transfered to the Bulgarian and Romanian navy, but I could give you the link to the Russian forum. I think you'll find this thread very usefull. About 19 pages of pictures and (scale model) drawings for various mtb's from different time periods and different nations. The website is in Russian, but again, Google translate does a reasonable job translating the information shared by modelbuilders, mostly from Russia and Ukraine.... And again, if you go to the ship modelling index page you'll find a lot of information about other subjects. No need to register to download any drawing or picture, but if you want to post yourself, then registration is required and a post in Russian mandatory.... but again, Google translate will do the job for you have fun browsing the forum |
