Default dummy engine

Hello All. I'm new to this hobby and love it. I have always liked model aircraft since I was in the army (army aviation) many years ago but did not have the time or extra money for it. But now that I am retired I have a little more of both. My question here is I built a House of balsa T6 Texan and installed a elect motor in it . It looks a little funny form the front with the motor showing and I need a dummy engine for it. I have looked around and haven't been able to find one the right size, it would be about 3" in dia. Can anybody point me in a direction to one? Thank you ahead of time.

You may want to give some consideration to not using one at all and allowing flow thru for motor/battery cooling. The HOB T-6 is a poor entry airplane if this is your first your best chances are to buddy box with a mentor/instructor

Scale it, print it, and glue it in.
