Oreca 05 Le Mans 2015 #46 Thiriet TDS by Spark
Alternative version SPK4660 #47 KCMG
There were two new Oreca 05s on the grid at Le Mans in 2015 and they enjoyed mixed fortunes. The French Thiriet entry was the slower of the two and unfortunately crashed out of the race, while the Hong Kong-based KCMG team, after initial teething troubles in first practice, set fastest LM P2 time in qualifying and went on to win the class. The dominant colour on the Thiriet car is red with neatly applied silver and carbon decalling adding interest. At first glance the KCMG car appears to be multiple shades of blue but that’s a trick of the light thanks to the very smooth chrome finish applied all over. A fabulous looking subject and a winner.

About Spark
The range which changed the 1:43 model market and for which we coined the term 'resincast'. Resin rather than traditional diecast bodies mean that relatively short production runs can be made and what might be marginal subjects become viable. Quality is very consistent with plenty of fine etch used where necessary. A huge range is the result, covering all aspects of (mostly postwar) motorsport and a wide variety of road cars. We typically see around 30 new subjects released per month and pre-orders are strongly recommended. Made in China & Madagascar.
