Lighting for models?

You mean the dials in the IM panel? Wow.

Fiber optics for landing lights and dials and LED's for general lighting. The problem is a power source. What I saw one guy do is set his battery contacts in the wheels and matching contacts on a base. Lift the plane off the base and change the batteries. You coluld eliminate he need for a switch this way. Another guy ran the wiring throough the landing gear and had the bateries in a supply shed at he edge of thh base. Either the shed was not attached ot the roof was removable.
