I'm planning to scratchbuild a Versuch Schnellboot (VS) 8, which is a WWII German hydrofoil.

Does any one has plans/drawings of this boat? Photos are scarce, but maybe one of the Schnellboot experts on this forum has some. What guns were installed and were the gunner domes existing ones used in other boats or planes? Does anyone has more data on the bay in the back of the boat which could be flooded to load an engined pontoon raft? And is there more known about the pontoon which was equuiped with two 40hp engines in order to carry a Panzer 38 or Panzer IV from the boat to the shore?

Hi

You should have a look at Harald Fock: Schnellboote.
This is the multi-volume standard book about German S-boats. Not sure if it there is an english version.

BTW just found this link:

There are some drawings about V-10

Greetings from Shanghai

This is the drawing from the German language version of Fock, volume 2:

Thanks Tom and Al,

Are there also drawings of cross section of the hull?

Not in Fock. However, he must have had access to more detailed drawings, as he shows the basic locations of the bulkheads and decks/platforms in the profile view (dashed lines).
