Hi David,
the middle one could be viable, but generally the germans were not employing nets that much (unlike the allies).
And when they used nets, these were quite "civilised" with a wide weave, not at all like tommy or GI camo nets!
Try "wehrmacht helm tarnnetz" on google and look at the pictures. While many are not Wehrmacht at all, those that are give a good idea of what the net was like!
And for german nets, I'd rather use the pantyhose!
Cheers

I don't do many Allied builds, but this would be great for them. Great idea and presentation, despite historical accuracy.

Netting, especially with a large weave, easily snags on nearby branches and gets pulled out of shape and ripped, such as the 'uncivilized' look of the fellow above.
