The plane talking firemen didn't try to hide the scale of the problem...

It's no big deal to add realistic sounds to an RC model; these kits have been available for years:

How small are those units?

Would they fit into a plastic model?

Sure, if the plastic model was big enough

Not small enough then

One of our regular modellers at Farnborough (Brian Boot) built a 1/32 Zero with a sound generator in a box shaped base and electrified the motor. It was all very impressive.

There's French bloke does it too...Pierre somebody. He did it with a DC-3 I think, and even got the stuttering engine start with brushless motors / controllers.
