Folks
What would I need to do to the Tristar Panzer IV D kit to make it into a DAK Panzer IV D?

A paint job :-) :-)

Seriously though, probably not much as the E was out at the time and if a "D" was used it might have some additional front armor bolted on. It was located on the front panel attached to the vertical section where the machine gun and drivers vision blcok is. The Squadron signal PzKpfw IV in Action book shows it. It would be real easy to do with some sheet and tube styrene

Hi Peter ...you'd need to change the engine decks and add the stowage box to the turret as well if you're going to change it to a AK tank..
