Hi to all,

To improve my Tamiya Cromwell i`m looking for some photographs of the so called "Hessian Tape Camouflage Netting". Nice would be, of course, fotos accessable via internet. Everything i could find was kind of wishiwashi-fotographs were you could hardly see anything. Help would be appreciated very much.

Best regards and Thank You in advance.

Here's a restored Comet at the War & Peace Show 2007. The camo netting looks rather accurate...
