Default Dummy engine source

I'm building a 1/16 scale Hanley Page Halifax (79" Span) and am looking for a source for dummy engines for the nacelles. Plane will be electric. Looking for ideas for sources so any assistance will be appreciated.

Williams Brothers has dummy radial engines from 4.25" did up to over 11". They will be the lightest. Robert's dummy engines will probably be much too heavy for your use.

Default Try http://atwoodaviation.net/

Here's the site for Damon Atwood: http://atwoodaviation.net/
. He 3D prints some very fine looking dummy engines. He prints in ABS and does an ammonia bath to smooth them out. I'm waiting on parts to lay out the Mercedes D.IIIa on my 1/4 scale D.VII.

Sarik Hobbies in England has the plans. They also had the vacuum formed canopy and turrets. This will be a plane with a special meaning for me. According to my dad, a family relative "uncle" flew one during the war.
