There is a feature article and free full size plan of a flat iron gunboat in the most recent Marine Modeling International magazine.  I already threw it out, but it may have some of the detail you seek.

THANK YOU FOR REPLY,    that's the plan i am working on ,  but lacks scale detail , hull built all plank on frame, now ready for detail ,
      its a model with a few quirky details  , scratch build should be a challenge  .     CHEERS LARRY...

Send an e-mail to the MMI editor, Barrie Stephens at [email protected].  He will likely pass your request onto the author/designer of the flat iron boat.
