I'd just cut them out. It seems like a waste to use a full- decal on such a nice looking instrument panel, but maybe that' just me and my terrible luck with IP decals Stick out tongue

Here is an interesting kit.
Revell's Spit Mk2a. Sofar I have just started and ran into a little snag.
The IP has very nice raised and reccessed detail, and deacls fo the instruments.
However you can see that the yello marked instruments do not lin up with any detail on the molding   
I will have to make another plan here, eithr try scribe the instrument faces, but the deep reccess of the centre console makes this difficult or cut out the faces off the decal sheet and try put them into the moulding.

The Seat is made up from 4 pieces and no matter how I tried they just didnt fit well, the sidewalls do not line up with the seatpan and backrest, lucky I can jippo this a little, also only the right sidewall of te seat has a hole where the lapsrtap goes through, the left side not. 

I also need to reserch if the Mk2a had the Sutton Harnass that had the 2 sets of shoulder restraints, if so I need to make a hole in the backrest for one of them.

I am sure it is not a bad kit, I just think became spoilt with the Tam 1/32 P-51 where every thing fit so well
