Hi Chris,

yepp - verlinden has camo netting: http://www.verlindenonline.com/store/verlinden-1-35-camouflage-net-item-42.html

but as an alternative you could make your own with gauze bandage!

I agree with making it yourself....If I can do it it can't be that hard.

Apply diltued white glue to a gauze swab and sprinkle on some dried oregano or thyme. As good as free and you don't have to worry about undelivered parcels.

Yep pretty easy. I have gone as far to add Tamiya paint to the diltued white glue to help with painting. I use dried tea leafs too.

Absolutely what everyone else said. You can also bunch it together and pour coffe over. Gives some striations and a brownish shade. Also if you have patience hut strips of tissue paper and glue on to get another variation of cam.

Hi there.

Another excellent option if you want the camo net deployed, such as over a tank or artillery piece, is to go to a dollar store and get a ladies hairnet. I got some that were ideal for the large type of camo nets you see over artillery pieces in many WW2 pictures.

Many of these ladies hairnets are actually very finely braid so you'll need to apply some substance to them to get the multi-strand lines to become one line. White glue works very well if thinned with water or alcohol if you ant a faster drying time.

Oh I'm sure you could dunk your netting in your Jack to give it a light colour stain but the question is..."Why would you want to waste it?"
