This is a model of a 104G built by my goo9d friend (and a son to me) Ping Lee. He has to return to Taiwan in the morning. He just received his Master Degree from Embry Riddle Air University and he asked me to post some photos of his model. I hope that you like it. You can see more photos of Pings model in my gallery uner the title Ping's 104G. He scratch built the jack stands and a lot of the interior pieces. on the tail section and the inspection stations around the AC.

WOW!!!!!!! that is about all I can say. That is one of the best if not the best Dio of a hanger that I have seen. Tell Ping I tip my hat to him..
Any idea what he has next in mind because that is a talent that I hope we will see much more of.

I have been trying to get him to join us here for a year now. Once he is back at home he plans to build another hangar scene with the M-16 AC. He is a very talented young man. His last project before this one took first place in Aircraft division at our local HobbyTown USA model contest last fall. I hope that he will join us and share his stuff with all of us. I will E-mail him you posting and maybe he will join us.

Jeese Dave... I opened up your note and I thought that it was a real photo. Had to take a second look to figure out that it was in deed a dio!

Congrats to your friend... would be nice to see more of his works here.
