Hahahahahaha

It's cool

What's the deal with the net? What type of net? What r ya tryin to do?

The stuff is kind of a vinyl or rubber-ish thingo
Perhaps if I paint it to get close to the subject pics it might spring to mind how to make the thing work !

Educational if nothing else!!
Being from a very small nation, I can relate to the dedication it takes to be your own nation.
I was well armed & certainly motivated to maintain that independence, I'd say not unlike these guys.

Wow, never even heard of that country.

AAAAAaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnndddddd the camo net

Now for a first go at Autumn colours, looking only at the pics for reference, this draft fit up is only to check the look against the photograph.
The shape, retention method, battery access and decision on to keep or not to keep is a way off I think
Idea is right, but the final look and also of course practicality has yet to be determined.
To get the similar colours in comparison to the very likely faded version on the MU in the pics was a real muck around of blending, re-blending, basing, covering, re-blending, and fluke!!
Of course the final outcome will be dictated by the above conditions, but I reckon without the net, the subject would be let down somewhat
I still need to enable clearance for crew vision hatch forward clearance in the net, and hatch access, so its a bit of a punt at the moment.

Bit of opening up & placing, looking much more betterer !!
