If you're lucky, they may have one in that model place in Broadmarsh. Might be worth a look in there, especially as it' about as local as you can get. Or possibly try Gee Dees in Hockley.
If she's not bothered too much about scale (and is a bit of a dab hand with the glue and paint), you may still be able to get the 1/24 Tamiya kit as well.

Other option is to wait until after Christmas and take her down to the Autosport show. Usually plenty of die casts on sale there. Just don't buy her the real thing by mistake...

GT Models, above, have got an Evo 7 showing on their site - might be worth giving them a call.

P.S. I've used GT Models lots of times, they are pretty good.
