I'm fairly headstrong, but i think scratchbuilding one of these in any scale that will be a tough project,i don't think they make anything like it in N-scale. (even in HO, an E33 does not make as good a starting point as it looks).
You'll need a U25C or similar if they sell one, and you'll have to do quite a bit of chopping. I don't doubt that the basic shape can be had with styrene, but getting some of the details down might be tricky.
The only matching pantographs i know of are on the Bachmann E60CP, and i don't know how good they are. i would say scratch build the pantographs, but i just put myself through that madness, and it may be tricky to do in N-scale.
I say go for it, and see where you get. I'll have to dig out some paint diagrams and things i have for it.
