it does look to be a tad big from what I can see. Maybe it isn't positioned right. I ordered a set that should be arriving today or tomorrow. I'll check it out and let you know.

Set came today. Oddly, the computer screen is sized perfectly, but the dashboard panel is a mm too tall.
Here's a few measurements
Panda computer screen (part g43)- 8mm wide x 7mm tall
Eduard PE= 8mm wide by 7mm tall
****Looks like a perfect fit, laying PE over plastic.
Now where I DO see a small difference is the dash-
Panda dashboard (raised portion of part A9) 33mm wide x 8mm tall in center, 9mm on left most side.
Eduard dash- 33mm wide by 9mm tall, 10mm on left most side.
****Not a huge difference but the PE part is going to overhang the plastic by 1 mm on the bottom. I don't think you'll be able to tell once the cab is all assembled, though.
