Stage 100 gives us the final decals  and the battery cover.

Apply the decals to the model.  The process is the same as before, but take care to remove any air bobbles carefully.  These large decals are more prone to trapping air bubbles.  Use decal softener when necessary.

I started with the two side fairing decals.  First the left side decal.  Get the decal to align with the decal on the door as close as you can.

Here's the right side fairing decal.

The front Porsche logo is places on the pencil guide marking on the front of the car.  This decal seemed a little odd.  It slide off the backing paper after a few seconds of soaking, but it seemed to stick to the paintwork and didn't want to slide.  I lifted it with tweezers and placed in down note correct position.  Perhaps, they used a different type of glue, or perhaps I had a rogue decal.  Anyway, it went on and stuck with no problems.

Decal on the top of the rear hood went on without problems.

Now fit the bonnet (front hood cover) using the hood cover locks supplied in stage 82.  They just push in and can be pulled out easily when you want to show off the under hood detailing.

Insert two AAA batteries in the battery box.

Fit the battery box lid and turn on the model.

Pressing the light switch will light the head and tail lights, and also the instrument light.

Pressing the brake pedal will light the brake lights, but I couldn't find anything that would reach the brake pedal!  

Pressing the horn button sounds the horn and pressing the starter button plays the sound of the engine starting up.

I did find that the rear spoilers (parts 94A & B) didn't like staying tight against the rear hood, so I glued these in place.  Just a little superglue applied to the underside to keep them in position.

That completes the model.  If you've been building the model, I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have.

Here are some beauty shots of the finished model.

I did decide to remove the headlight protectors.  I think the model looks cleaner like this, but it's less authentic.
