http://www.vajraminiature.com/PRODUCT/35001.html Not sure how you go about ordering, check the site I guess.
It's a resin kit though, depends on how you feel your skill level is at if you're just getting back into the hobby.

Italeri kit #379 is a Buffalo and there is also an Alligator, Italeri kit# S6384 which is also based on the LVT-4 but has a turret. The kits are both 1/35th scale. I am not sure if anyone else makes either the Buffalo or Alligator in plastic. I don't think so.

On eBay I have seen a company called Bluetank also makes a 1/35th scale Alligator but I know nothing of this company or the quality of their kits. I have heard that they were once or are now Nitto, but I know nothing of them either.

OOPS! Sorry, I get pretty stuck in the WWII era and whenever I hear a name like "Buffalo" that's the synapse that fires in my brain!
