In a word - no . However , it is a fairly straightforward process to fit a bigger tunnel , they are available from CRS or V6 conversions , or cut one out of a HQ-Z .
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

This is not a very good pic of the CRS Tunnel. We also cut out the bracing under the tunnel and had to remake that bigger to tie the two rails underneath together. If you want more pics let me know, I have them.

Should also say you need to trim the CRS tunnel to suit your application. As a guide we cut 5 - 10mm off the front and about 2inches off the rear part to suit what we had done.
