Oh, it's possible alright. In fact it's been done numerous times.
You want to get yourself over to StarshipModeler.com. Ton of very knowledgeable people over there, with a section dedicated to lighting.
You can also hit up Trekmodeler and VoodooFX (google them), both of whom make lighting kits that will probably fit your needs. Good luck and don't forget to post pics when you're done.
