The first design, H31 was it ?


I have seen the Google photo, a bit too fuzzy for finer detail and no plan view...

What scale are you  looking to build the model in?  There are quite a few sources  of info  available, for example "British Warships of WW2 detailed in the original builders plans" by John Roberts has the official profile and deck plans for HMS Glowworm at approx 1/215 scale that could be enlarged to virtuallly any scale you like.  Another option is the GPM 1/200 card model.   There is also the Model Fan Gryf Hobby 1/100 scale ORP Garland  if you are interested.
