How do you remove decal film - instruments?

[Stevepd]

I've started my 1/32 Revell Tornado and I'm current doing the Aires cockpit. I'm probably 1/3rd of the way through the front cockpit and this morning I was applying airscale decals, but on placing them there was a fair amount of film around the instrument. I found it very fiddly to cut as it's small enough as it is; so is there a how to or tool, equally how do you do yours. Failing that I'll buy 1/48 decals for the really small dials.

I use a punch set to punch out the individual decals.

Dave, please post a pic of the said punch. I think it must be a very handy tool.

 

Thanks

There are a number of punch sets out there.  I mostly use the UMM medium and large sets.
