Call on model after six (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

visit

'call on' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'model after six' is the wordplay.
'model' becomes 'sit' (e.g. for a painting).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'six' becomes 'VI' (Roman numerals).
'sit' put after 'vi' is 'VISIT'.

(Other definitions for visit that I've seen before include "Come to see" , "Inflict" , "Drop in; frequent" , "Look up" , "Call on - stay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
