Lighting a model can be simple or as complex as you want. This kit would require as the basics some white 5mm 3v 20mah LEDs and a red 3v LED. The whites would be for the windows and main engines and the red for the middle impulse (?) engine. Plus you will need fiber optic for the windows.
Go here and plug in the info and it will design a circuit for you.

You can get more complicated by adding special lighting features like the landing bay lights, flickering engine lights, etc.
You can add lights with a little understanding of basic electronics and a good pencil type soldering iron (about $20). There's lot of videos on how to solder LEDs and how to use fiber optics. I say with this kit, you almost just have to light it. When I get mine, I'll do a full build tutorial and if people want I'll show the basics of lighting and fiber optic-ing as well. I'll be doing my engines blue (just to be different) and will add the snow fall lights in the landing bays.
