The model - details of this model were received in August 2023 thanks to Jacky Ho. It is a specially commissioned model marking
the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Community Party. This event took
place in June/July 2021 and it is assumed the model was issued at that
time. It is the second model to be commissioned by Asiaray, the
previous one being a Christmas advertising model, offered as a prize in
a competition in late 2021 (ASIARAY-1). If you are able to provide any further details of this model, do please e-mail me.
