Something the original model was missing in my opinion, a cool way to make the flame light up. I used a simple white 12v 5mm LED.
For the wiring I suggest you use enamel copper wiring, because it's stiff and thin it can be easily pushed through the tube in the smoke model.
There isn't a slot modeled in the bottom of the smoke because it's a very polygon-heavy model and my pc had to overheat 3 times to finally make it work and have the tube inserted in meshmixer. This slot can easily be made by taking a rotary tool or a small file and cutting it out.
For the rocket you can choose any color, best not to make it too light or transparent as the light may bleed into the rocket if you do so. I prefer black for the great contrast and color combination.
For the flame I'd recommend a translucent orange, yellow or red.

Printer:
Migbot i3
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
0.2
Infill:
20
Notes:
On the rocket I recommend supports turned on, this is very helful to prevent the 3 rocket legs from falling over while printing.
If you are using cura, I recommend turning on gradual infill for the smoke model, you can set the infill low to reduce printing time but there are a lot of 90° floating top layers so you need the extra dense infill on the top.
Drill wiring tube
If the wiring gets stuck at a certain point in the tube, try to take a drill and carefully enlarge the hole at the very tip of the smoke
