Whilst speaking of lighting for models try this one for effect sometime,go to your local £1 shop ( is it dime shop across the big pond ?) and buy one of those cheap fibre optic table top displays,take the thing apart and thread the optics down each wingtip of any airplane kit model,then one to the tail,and one to the identification beacon,join them together and hide a tiny battery either in the model or into the stand or a battery box,tint the port side nave light red,the starboard one green and the strobe blue with well thinned enamel paint.
Once lit up the model becomes an instant talking point,would work on models of all types,cars,boats etc,a bit of a novelty and a challenge to see what can be done.
