Hi there,

have you experienced working with the 1/35 Modern Camo Nets decals from Echelon. I wonder what did you use to stick it to the model?

Any feed back would be welcome

Thanks

I believe it's like a decal and has an adhesive on one side, so no glue required. What is the project?

Could be, but the instruction says you have to let it dry for a day or so, so I wonder if it does not loose its adhesive ability. Iīll test it on a small piece and will see
Btw: I have nearly finished my VLRA project and the camo net should be one of the last steps.

Thank you

Are you rolling the net up, laying it down on the vehicle, or suspending the netting in the air?

I plan to have it folded over covering the truckīs bonnet so I definately need the net to follow the bonnetīs shape (at least a bit)

In that case I would recommend following the instructions using the tacl powder and laying it where you want it before it dries completely.

Just wondering if anyone has anything to add to the application of this.I want to apply it to the Canadian Leo for barracuda.I have layed a foil cover sheet on the top of the front lower hull and a base coat of Buff on all the other areas to be covered.Can't find a video on applying and don't really want to screw up a good kit.They're website does'nt seem to work.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,

I found the product very difficult to work with and I could not get the sheet to do what I wanted no matter how I followed the instructions.

Have you seen this new product? It might be worth considering for your Barracuda panels?

Hi guys,
Tried the Echelon net today.So far the most wasted money I have ever spent.Most of it fell apart trying to get it off the wax paper.Love the instructions on the reverse side."To do barracuda camo ,figure out your own way".
Andrij ,on that website,were do I find the netting?
