Can anyone tell me how to make cam nets as I want to make them for the harrier 1 24.

Hi Graham
I'll be using a Verlinden item in my 190 dio but that's 1/48. The net is actually supposed to be 1/35 but I think it'll look fine for an aircraft camo net in 1/48. I don't think it's going to look right in 1/24 and it certainly won't be big enough. I've been racking my brains trying to think of an alternative - medical gauze, net curtain, fruit bags, fish net tights!? nothing seems to be quite right. I tried to see if I could find anything online but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. You could try the Verlinden net - possible sew/stick a few together (you can disguise the joins with folds, hesian strips etc.
Just found this: Easy Gardener Natural Hessian 0.91 x 5m, 0038398031047
Might work out - at least it's a bit more manly than the tights!!!
Best of luck

Have you looked at the nylon mesh that you see in strainers?
Could be a good scale size although it may turn out expensive if you keep scrapping strainers.
Also, visit, or send a carefully briefed representative, to a fabric shop to look at a range of curtain nets.
Apparently they come in various mesh size/densities that could be useful. Come in nylon and cotton , senior management tell me so dye might work, otherwise, glue and paint?
Good luck.
