Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen, 1942

The Prinz Eugen deck and lines plans recreates the famous German cruiser from WWII. We used original drawings from 1942, the ship's design manuals, and many photos to bring the Prinz Eugen to life in highly detailed 1:1 scale CAD drawings which depict the ship as she appeared in the fall of 1942 while undergoing repair and refit in Germany after her stern had been extensively damaged by a torpedo.

The Prinz Eugen deck plans allow you to explore the interior areas of the ship, such as the individual officer cabins and the seamen eating and sleeping areas on the Batteriedeck. On the Zwischendeck, you can trace routes through the crew living spaces, follow the path of the overhead ammunition transfer rail, and explore the workshop and repair facilities which were vital to keeping the ship operational while at sea. Beneath the Panzerdeck, you can explore the 20.3 CM powder magazine rooms, the 10.5 CM ammunition rooms, anti-aircraft ammunition storage, machinery rooms, and other switch and control compartments which helped keep the ship operational. For modelers, the lines plans will be indispensable for creating a highly accurate hull.

Deck Plans

Below is our collection of Prinz Eugen plans. Each main deck is printed individually and includes an abbreviation and symbol table. The superstructure decks are combined onto a single sheet of paper.

Lines Plans

Shown below are the Prinz Eugen's lines plans. Each plan is printed separately and includes salient dimensions.

Body and Framing Plan

Prinz Eugen body plan includes the stations -0.5, -0.25, 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4 through 17, 18, 18.5, 19, 19.25, 19.5, 19.75, and 20.

When ordering 1:200 scaled plans, the body plan is printed at 1:100 scale; when ordering 1:250 scaled plans, the body plan is printed at 1:200 scale.

Sheer Plan

Prinz Eugen sheer plan includes the buttock curves for the stations 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Half-Breadth Plan

Prinz Eugen half-breadth plan includes the waterlines for 1, 2, 3 through 17, 18, 19, and 20.

Purchasing Plans

All orders include both the deck and the lines plans shown above. The tables below show the quantity and plan dimensions (rounded to the nearest 1/8") for two common plan scales. The 1:200 scaled plans bring the interior details to life, but does require a large viewing surface, while the 1:250 scaled plans—being a bit smaller—are easier to work with. For individuals interested in a different plan size, our CAD plans may be scaled to just about any desired size. Please contact us for custom scaled plans.

Note that we only sell paper copies of our plans; no pdf files are offered.
