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 4 - Suspension Units | Dec 18, 2006 |
| Step 4 is adding the suspension assemblies and drive/return wheels to the hull. No mention is made that one must remove the half moon shaped tab from the back of the bogie mounts (S1-24 and S1-25). Not doing so will make fitting them to the hull impossible. Part S-31 is shown inserted backwards and is not hard to notice when fitting the rear wheels. |
