Chev Surburban
Done, and I'm happy with it. Tamiya French Blue & Racing white. Interior is Tamiya Deck Tan. After market distributor & leads, old phone cable (really!) for the fuel lines.
Solder & coated wire for heater & vac booster hoses, kit decals
Backseat TV is parts stash with wire antenna, and the crates are scratch built. Springs are solder.
The missing spare wheel? It hung down ridiculously low, so I need to figure out what to do there.
Over all its a fine kit. Only two anomalies come to mind:
White whitewalls were out of style by then, so I painted over the kit whitewall inserts and went aftermarket.
And the steering linkage is for power steering, but no pump/ belt is provided. Neither are deal breakers.

Super job. Color fits with similar light colors I saw back then. Seem like a fine kit, and youmade it better! Front view with grille is right on!

Beautiful build! Very evocative of the period - just seeing it brought back a few childhood memories. Fantastic!
