Great things can be done when you combine cheap model kit and coconut fiber door mattress.

Aaah, so that's what it is. Thx for the tip 😉 and you forgot to mention the talent 👍

Needs a DC motor. 😉"
It'd be cool but I'd have to place battery unit/switch outside the model so visible cables would ruin the impression. I played with electricity on my Zvezda Mi-24 project where I managed to hide small battery and switch in cargo compartment.

Get a clear plastic tube instead of a rod and run two thin white wires down there. Almost invisible because it looks like a lighting highlight. You've got a wooded base, so I'm sure there's room for a little 3V battery underneath and a little switch at the back. I've done things like that on many many projects, so I know if there's a will there's a way. One time I hid an old computer fan under the model to BLOW a prop to spin because it was too small (1/144 scale) to get an actual motor in.
I mean, it already looks great... but whenever I see people using clear plastic disks I just imagine the hum of a little motor and a real spinning prop... 😄

@Greg Baker
I tried that on this project:

(Hope the link works)
The thing is I'd need at least 0.7-0.8 cm thick tube. On 1/72 scale Tornado it looks ok, but I think it would be too much for 9cm model.

9cm? That's HUGE! 😉
Here's the project where I did it with a 1/144 scale Cessna 172. (AREA 88 : Kamikaze (Cessna 172) | Album by strobez (1:144)). However, if you're happy with the project, that's all that matters. Like I said, it already looks great - and I love presentations that are a bit different than the norm. That Tornado looks awesome all lit up!
