A 'Serious' detail which can be resolved using two discs of 5mm plastic card? That's serious?

You shouldn't have to make them in the first place. I would have thought a fairly prominent detail like should be part of the kit, and the dials graphics on the transfer sheet.

There aren't any graphics for the gauges on the decal sheet.

Hi Dave

Yes I do realise that, because there isn't the instrument cluster, that's my point. This item should not need to be made and should be provided in the kit, along with transfer dials required to make it look more realistic, provided, on any transfer sheet within the kit.

Cheers
