you need to remove all the raised detail for a flat surface to adhere to.
| I freakin thought it was retarded to apply the PE over the raised dials.... It just didnt seem right.... I dont have the capability to remove the raised dials, no dremel tool.... Sand em off??
HA!
So, as far as the raised dials go then Wayne, pint the dials first, seal em, then overspray the 66 and remove with wet cloth???
Do u also use the decals that came with the kit?? Thats some really minute cutting of those gauge decals, and I dont have a punch...

Country:  | Nice progress Dan.I have sent you replay on the PE parts.I hope it was helpul as well.These details you have made so far look very good.But I agree with Wayne if you want to use these PE pieces those details from plastic parts have to be removed firstly.

Country:  | Ok Dan here are the shots from my A-5 Cockpit the components are similar but not the same.....however the same principle applies to get the same type of result!

Country: | Now, my process is....for the Instrument panel...
1. Paint the panel overall in Dark Grey.
2. pick out the raised dials in Black with a fine brush, don't worry if you get a bit of 'spill' of black go around the dials later with the grey again to tidy them up.
3. I then do a dry brushing of the Panel with a pale/light grey. this picks out and highlights the raised detail.
4. I now use a sharpened silver pencil to pick out the details in the dials, very carefully, keep the tip sharp. Once you are happy fill each dial with clear gloss. If you are not then redo some black drybrush again...silver pencil until you are happy with each dial.
5. Pick out your various other colours on dials knobs and switches with fine brush.
However if you choose to use the Dial decals they can still be used at this point. If you are serious then you cut out each one separately and carefully apply one at a time getting them correctly positioned on the gloss fill.
(I use decal softener at this point to help them settle in then hit them with another dose of clear gloss only after things are completely dry at the end of applying all decals.)
I work on each dial decal one at a time being careful to avoid touching any previous one applied so I work on opposite side to the previous one done.
when 2 or 3 are done I leave for a while to dry or set before moving on. The A-5 dials took me 4 hours on and off to apply one Saturday arvo. so it is not a quick process....but it looks great when done!! 
The rest of the cockpit is done in a similar manner, choosing which decals if any you may wish to substitute for the fine painting...
Remember to check back to page 6 or 7 on the Baer thread for the cockpit work done there, didn't use the dial decals, but now I wish that I had done them...oh well.!!
