Card isn't that tough, IMO, and if you've got PDFs or whatever, you can print one out, try it, if you goof it up, print again. I recently built a French armored car kit model scaled up to 1:56 and it took me 3 tries to get it to my satisfaction. However, I was using old cereal boxes for materials, so, essentially free once I bought the PDF. |

What Jeff said, card is easy when the panels are mostly flat like that. No compound curves.

Some of the other Reviresco vehicles may suffice as a proxy…… |

And you could always try building one out of plasticard. |

"-ERY", recon35, not "-REY." For anyone googling it. |

That honestly looks like a reasonably-easy scratchbuild, especially if you can find plans for it. dots of gel superglue for the rivets, 0.020" (0.5mm) plasticard for the flat plates (plus some L-shapes to reinforce the corners), and some plumbing caps for the round turrets and wheels. |
