Junkers JU88 1942 North Africa camo
Horrible old sculpt which was painful to work up … well worth it in the end though. Shoutout to blue tac for the camo, you’re a real one

Joan Mir’s future
Of the 8 rounds we’ve had, Joan Mir has only been classified in 4 sprint races, and just 3 main races. He has a best sprint finish of 6th, and a best main race finish of 12th; this is all handily accompanied by TNT sports’ favourite stat that his finish rate is below 50% during his time at Honda.
With just 15 points he’s the lowest classified full-time Honda rider by a fair margin, behind the injured Zarco and rookie Moreira.
Some mitigating factors in that not all of his DNFs are his own fault, and he’s had excellent pace on some weekends that belies his 18th place championship standing, and has signed for Gresini for 2027.
The question: do you think his identity as a world champion is doing too much heavy lifting, or is there another championship there for Joan if he can find the right package/style/mindset?
edit: signed for gresini
