Absolutely beginner question

Hi folks, I'm really new to CAD so please apologies on the very basic question. I started a project and after a few minutes (maybe one hour) of tutorial I tried to sketch the project I'm trying to do for my kid's boy scout derby car decoration.
So my kid asked me to 3D print a thrust car, as if I had any idea on how to do it :smile:

So I'm just starting on what could be the side turbines. I started by placing 3 circles on 3 planes, first and last circle have same diameter, middle one is larger to give the same look of the turbine of the thrust car.

I then used the loft tool to create the shape. 

I'm now stuck trying to get it to be hollow. I tried adding two more circles inside each sketch of each plane, but then the loft connector won't do a remove body intersection between the two.

Anyone has tips on how I could achieve this?

My "design" is here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/89b034bbc2af1af434f08158/w/c14dd874190d9835462592ea/e/6f63ca92916bbe848c0a3183?renderMode=0&uiState=65ef9c39ecea277ca95d109b
under turbine 1st attempt tab.

Thank you very much
