Camouflaged netting for German Armor question

Well I've always used cheesecloth for any camouflage netting. I pin it to a foam board, then airbrush it in whatever camo colors that coincide with the kit. Then I add any foliage that I deem appropriate. It works for me.

And I thought I was the only one here to use pencil shavings of the classic old school hand cranked variety.

I use bridal veil. for modern tanks i will paint a piece and wrap it around the gun barrel and tie it with black thread. cheaper than an AM barrel and do not have to clean seams.

Well - I'd recommend taking that heavy gauze or whatever you call it, and glueing some "leaf" material to it. For leaves I'd take black tea or pecil shavings from an automatic sharpener (one with a crank). Here, let me show you what I managed to do this way - with this camouflaged fantasy sniper:

I took pencil shavings and some "foliage" I think from Woodland Scenics or Faller

Hope it helps, have a nice day

Very interesting photos in that link. Thank you for posting! One type looks like a simple heavy gauze or cheesecloth would work, but the another type looks like bits of static grass on wider fine thread gauze would be perfect. 

You might start with a examination of samples of the real materials used and then determine how best to replicate them;

 On the second page there is a netting type on a rebuilt early Stug that looks like it could be replicated with little bits of static grass glued onto gauze.
