Very nice attempt. I like how both "naked" rims evenly touch the ground with the rest of the frame, suspension, and chassis being totally off due to the damage...

Very nice! Making wrecks is not as easy as it may seem at first, but you're doing an excellent job.

The alterations are extensive. Good idea using foil in the appropriate places.

Very nice job Piotr ! Did you eventually correct the kit rims, as they don't really look like the 1:1 ones (without tires on I mean) ? :

Looks good.

The radiator grille you have with the big slats is the fiberglass style as found on M998, M1038, etc. The M1025 should have the "armored" thin slat steel one.

I know a lot of times when the fiberglass ones broke they would be replaced by the more durable steel one.... At least in the units I was in.

Great job. I feel wrecks are even more work than "regular" models, what do you think?

Piotr, this is a wonderful build. You took a daunting subject and have handled it with your usual attention to detail and professionalism. You handled the burnt out materials as well as anyone has. This has become one of my favorite builds. Thank you for showing us the process you went through to create this masterpiece.

Regards,

Eric
