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 10 - Rear Hull Details | Jan 7, 2007 |
| The underwater valves are added here for the Tauchpanzer, but I am building the regular Ausf. D so skipped this. Note that the inner sides of the mud flaps have had rivet detailing added. I have added Mr. Surfacer 500 to the muffler and the rear bottom to simulate dirt build-up. |
