Yes, but it is a pricey kit. Hobby Fan makes a complete gun system, the entire gun pod, inside and out. It has six aluminum barrels in it. The kit is high but a very good kit. The gun assembly itself builds up very nicely.

Hobby Fan makes both the vehicle mounted gun system and a trailer mounted system.

You might be able to find some of the K&S tubing that would work. Most hobby shops and Hobby Lobby have a selection of aluminum and brass tubing, some it it quite small in diameter. You could also look at large hypo needles sold at places like Tractor Supply. Just athought. Don M.
