I printed my own in 1:50... tiny little things, they needed super fine wire and teeny little LED chips to work:

I have used these with good success. Mount into a 3.5mm tube and insert a 3mm LED in the other end.

A bit large in scale, for a US naval vessel, but you have to bend your own cages, the printout contains a jig.
