Hi!
I'd like to make camo net for my 1/35 stug (almost finished). I think I will use bandage gauze and I'm not sure if I should paint it plain green or with some patches. Should I also add something imitating artificial leafs?

I use gauze and paint it German Yellow then add a sploching pattern of brown and green.

I soak it in a 25 glue-75 water mixture and drape it on the AFV. Once dried, I touch up the paint and drybrush for highlights/shadows.

Thank you John. You really helped me. One more question - Do you paint you nets with brush or airbrush and which are better for this purpose acrylic or enamel paints?
