You might try crafting your own plastic pieces. A piece of strue from any plastic model kit can be heated and stretched. You could use a tapered section of stretched sprue to form the nozzles. For the body, check your local hobby store for styrene pieces made by Evergreen or Plastruct. Thin flat stock could be cut up and stacked for the appropriate size/shape, if you can’t find the exact size needed.
You also want to use a liquid plastic cement like Tenax or Plastruct Plastic Welder. The tube cement is messy and actually pretty lousy for fine parts work.
I’ve done a fair amount of detailing on an Estes Outlander in styrene. It’s not too hard.
