Hi,
I'm looking to add some camouflage nets to US M1 helmets as seen during WWII in 1/35th scale.
Is there any products out there that I could use?
Thanks for your help.

Joe.

Hello Joe,

if you want to take the easy way: Hornet offers a headset with net-covered M1`s. Take a look at

Hornet HUH04

Or do you really want to find a material to reproduce the netting on other figures? Than I can recommend photoetched grills for tanks, for example some leftovers. They are a little tricky to put in place, but look in scale much more convincing like wound bandage or else. In my opinion, of course.

Best Regards

Dennis

Hi
I've found that if you use an old pair of the better halfs panty hose,just stretch it tightly over the helmet and secure with glue.Can be trimmed after the glue sets.Looks pretty convincing!
