anyone can help me with how to reproduce accurate camo netting in 1/35. I've started work on a Marine M1A1 and am going to use the Echelon decal sheet that has the forrest green M1 with the mine plow and camo netting over the front of the turret and on the barrel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can replicate modern camo net with either cheese cloth or medical gauze. Pull the cloth or gauze apart so it opens up the weave and looks like netting. Then paint it in camo colors. Lastly, wet the cloth with a diluted white glue mixture and glue it onto the model in the position you want. Before it is dry, you can sprinkle on some spices such as oregano, parsley, etc. to give the look of the additional cloth in the netting and give it some more texture.

You can use fabric dye to get the base colour you want

Not sure who makes it, but there is a great, very accurate way to include netting. Some company makes a Phote Etch version., IMO, really looks like the real thing.

It may be made by Voyager or Eduard. I honestly can't remember, but it does look very realistic.
