Thanks Gantu.

There are 1/72 kits of the Type-IIA and CV-707 Vesikko which appears to be quite detailed. The instructions have some schematics of the details and there are also plan and side views with colour schemes.

Here are the links to the instructions;

There is also a detailign set by Accurate model Parts which includes a general arrangement drawing showing various details

Also the instructions of the detail kit provides some information on specific details etc;

Also a fly around animation of the CAD model in Gantu's post can be found at the following link on Youtube;

Looking through the AMP website I found that they have several documents on U-boats to download, including one with specific details of different Type-II variants and individual boats;

Thank you all for the help!

The full resolution Typ-II docking plans can be found on the Dreadnought project website at the following link, along with a number of other ship drawings (mainly late 19th century, early 20th century). There is also a drawing of the WWI SM U63-65.

In addition there are a few photo's of a nice cutaway conversion of a 1/72 Typ-II on the Association of Model submariners site which shows nicely the internal structure arrangement and layout;

Wow! thank you Gantu.
This man built a Type 2 out of styrene. I've always wanted to try this. Actually I did once with a Nautilus that turned out well. I've had second thoughts about making a master, molds and hull kits. I don't need the money or the trouble. I turn 70 in March it's just time for me.
As soon as I finish up my current project I'll start on the Type 2 build at 1/35 scale.
Thanks to everyone that helped me get all the data and plans I could ever need!

Yes, his Typ-II build from 2mm and 3mm styrene is very impressive. A video showing some of the construction can be found at the following link;

Impressive thread, great amount of detail.

There were several different versions of the type II submarine. Nautilusdrydocks actually offers 3D files for a type IIC. They are not super detailed, but a good starting point for something more detailed. I bought those myself and I'm gathering add-on parts for it and also modified the existing files.

There are also kits out there for type II submarines. The kits are small, but they have many details one can use as an example for scratch building.

I'm not a big fan of 3D printing myself. I've built some 3D printed models and in the time it took me to sand off all those ripples and fill them I could have hand mastered an entire hull from scratch. I enjoy hand mastering just about anything because I can. I'm looking forward to making bulkheads and skinning styrene. Fun to do.
