How about a paper towel roller cut to length, split end to end and hardened with CA for the engine Nacelles? Seam could be located at the bottom out of sight. I have been watching how-to videos doing just that. CA seems to work well for this. I thought sanding sealer, but it's water based, not the best thing for cardboard. As you mention aluminum foil is subject to denting, but Reynolds makes a heavy version too. Perhaps wrap the roller instead of CA. Lot's of options.

I like your idea Robert.. but I'm still dealing with my CA allergy from when I used it on my foam tires.. I'd need to use a LOT of it to strengthen a cardboard tube. I'm going to try some thin plastic sheet. Other than that; I was thinking on the same lines as you for fitting them up.

I used white glue on the foam parts of my ME109 and my FW 190 builds it made them rigid and I was able to paint them without melting the foam
