I am planning on building Dragon's Panzer IV D in African service and decided I am dedicating enough extras to do an interior. Would Verlinden Panzer IV interior #2324 or the Tank Workshop Panzer VI interior #2008 be correct, for this build?

Never mind. I'm going with CMKs partial interior.

Well, the kit has changed. I will be building Tristar's Panzer IV D. I know that Verlinden has an interior set, for Tamiya and Dragon. Tank Workshop also has one for the Dragon kit. And, CMK has one specifically for the Dragon Panzer IV D. Would any of these be correct and fit the Tristar kit?

I'm starting to believe that you have some special relationship with the Pz III and IV-series, Matt.
It's understandable though. They're pretty!

I plan on building all of the Pz.IIIs and early Pz.IVs. Right now, I am in the process of converting a Pz.IV into a flakpanzer.

Hi,
I have the Verlinden Panzer IV interiors (engine and fighting compartment); these were made for Tamiya's 'H' kit, and we all know that the 'H' had different ammo to a 'D'; ergo, different ammo storage, therefore go with the CMK offering to be more accurate (driver's compartment), rather than the full interior.
I'm working on Tamiya's 'D' at the moment, very retro!

Thanks. Now, I just have to worry about the fit. Although, any gaps should be visible.

I have the 3 CMK interior sets for the Panzer IV and they are originally made for Tamiya kits. However since I plan to use the majority of the parts for a Kugelblitz I testfitted them in the DML Kugelblitz kit and they fit snugly in place. I don't know from my mind if there are any big size differences between the DML IVD and the Tristar IVD so I can't advice on that. But the DML/CMK combi is going to work without any problems

Faust: Thank you. I am going with the Tristar kit, as I don't want to spend a month or two learning to scratch build on a particularly nice kit.
