I got one ( a plastic kit) off ebay a while ago for about £4. Only 1/24th scale though.
You can get a very accurate die cast kit in 1/12th scale for about £100+.
Expect to pay more as Chrimbo approaches.

Fab one up with balsa sticks and lite cardboard.
With CA glue shouldn't take more than a couple hours.

I was going to suggest the same - all you need is the outer shape of the chassi/engine not a full scale model (unless you just want one, of course).
If you make a balsa former, you could then use modelers clay/plastecine to make the shape you want then tweak it to suit
