Flower Class Corvette lights

Good morning chaps, just a quick question.

I've just bought the Revell HMCS Snowberry to build up as HMS Poppy, I'm converting it to R/C so I want to light it up, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it.

The red and green nav lights are obvious.

I'm aware that there is a small light on the stern, and there appears to be one, possibly 2 on the mast. Were these all solid white lights or would some be flashing? Would they all be on when under normal running conditions (ie, not at battlestations)? Also, what kind of light would they be? Obviously they wouldn't be xenon or anything lol, would I be better getting white LEDs or something with a slight yellow tinge?

Interior lights. which parts of the ship would normally be lit up, and what colour would the lights be? I presume during the day they would just have ordinary white lights, but I guess at night they would switch to low vis red?

Any help from you experts out there would be much appreciated!

Cheers.
