Building the Tristar Panzer IV D Tauchpanzer |

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 2 - Lower Hull | Dec 11, 2006 |
In step 2 the lower hull is assembled. It comes in three sections and 2 support sections in the middle. Assembly was tricky in getting the sides to fit as the floor was warped out in the front some.
I glued the rear first and worked my way forward. I give DML the thumbs up on thier one piece hull. |
