Building the Tristar Panzer IV D Tauchpanzer |
| By Glenn Bartolotti | | Started: | Dec 8, 2006 | | Updated: | Feb 10, 2007 |

I will be building in this Blog the very nice Tristar Panzer IV Ausf. D "Tauch". I will be using Saul Garcia's review found here: http://www.track-link.net/reviews/k1757 I will use this review as my guide and I will be referring to it as I build if needed. The instructions are much easier to follow and read than the DML Panzer IV Ausf. E kit which are very confusing.
My plan is to build the kit as a Ausf. D, not the Tauchanzer version. I will build the kit in the 15 steps the instructions show. I will show a scan of the assembly step from the instructions and a photograph of the assembled parts for that step. |

| Step 1 (photo) is building the wheels and suspension. I have noticed that part S-28 is really S-11. Construction is straight forward. Detail is very good, but I prefer the DML plastic as it is easier to clean up off the sprue. The suspension works well and is easy to assemble. Just remember part S-28 is really S-11. |
