Wonderful looking model. I guess I need add this TSM to my list.

@karl So does Minichamps. Being a 917 fanatic I noticed both resin models from MC and TSM seem remarkably similar, if not the same. I'm fairly certain they came from the same Chinese factory, and no doubt Spark models do as well, as I have seen TSMs with Spark origins. They both appeared in the 2016-2017 time frame, and both released cars No. 6 (Donohue) and 7 (Follmer). I limited myself to one of each.

Remarkable! Thanks for adding these Harv!! Incredibly similar, if not exact. Only possible difference I may see is in the wheels; but that could be the photos. Oh, and of course, the numbers. Sharp looking racer!
