42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS - MODs and Improvements

[jb70]

After a few years I started rebuilding my Pimp up my Porsche again. It is a great pleasure to rebuild it again and by the way this helps to dust off your models ;-). 

And while doing this, I again found some improvements to this great MOD:

- New Building Instructions with high res renderings, highlighted steps, continuous step numbers, extended modular build and better ease of use
- Using new designed Stickers (https://library.ldraw.org/parts/sticker-sheets/1059) in Building Instructions and renderings
- Free view to the complete gearbox from the underside of the chassis
- Reinforced Body by
  - modified dashboard fixing to chassis  
  - reinforced A-pillar at windscreen allows to grab the body or car at the roof with one hand

If you like to Pimp up your Porsche again, please have look to this new update v1.5!

Hi @jb70,

Thanks for the update and for your great work on the Pimp up series. I’m a big fan and have built all pimped up big car sets. Currently building the MacLaren. 

Are any extra parts required for this new updated version?

Thanks and keep up your great work!

@jb70 great modification of the bottom chassis and exposed gearbox - now it is a perfect build :)

Hello Sir! Thank you for this update!
To be honest my 42046 is standing on shelf assembled from 2016, almost 9 years already, it was never reassembled.

So this is a great reason to rebuild the model into the most advamced nowaday. Will try to find time :)
