Narrative:

We finished flight and taxied back to ramp. When we were close to the entrance of the ramp; my instructor took the flight controls and I just focused on the front side and left side. My instructor thought we can taxi clear of the king air beside us; but we made a mistake and our aircraft's right wingtip scratched the nose of the king air; which caused the strobe lights of our aircraft broken and a hole in the nose of king air.
