Estes used to sell a Bertha-like rocket called the Ranger. It looked like the Bertha, but had 3x18mm mounts. One other differences was that the 18 inches of body tube included a payload section, where the Bertha is just one tube. But the Bertha would be something you can buy today, and could easily convert to a cluster.

Interesting you bring that up. I was actually thinking about building a Big Bertha with 2x 18mm as well. It's def. on the list.
