Camo Netting, Barracuda US Woodland & Desert (Modern)

1:35 Eduard

We reviewed the first items from this new range from Eduard here a month or two ago, and Eduard have been busy with some new styles.

These modern Barracuda camo sheets are again the now standard 9" x 5.25", and represent the Woodland and Desert types commonly used on modern American vehicles.

The Photo-Etched brass sheet is printed on both sides, with the rear being a bright bottle green and red/brown color, respectively - just like the real netting.

As mentioned in the other reviews, PE will stay put once shaped, and is unlikely to deteriorate over time, so your diorama or camo roll will look just as good 5 years from now.

Has anyone made a direct comparison between this and the Arkebuza Model Art equivalent? I would think that PE would be very hard to 'lift' in getting the loops to stand up whereas the paper product from AMA does this automatically when you distress the art-paper it's molded on but...it's paper. And I have no idea how long that would hold up after it's been painted before it started to look rather tattered and faded.

Also, does anyone have a recommended scheme for putting together MCS _panels_ from either product? MCS Mobile Camouflage System is NOT a 'net' so much as a foam shape with layers of RAM and IR absorbers built in and large velcro lock tabs on the corners. The scrim is just sewn on top as the last layer with the loops allowing the air to circulate and carry away the trapped heat like an exchanger. It is the backing layers which make it effective as an IR Masker and these are flexible rubber or plastic.

Felt? Ten Thou? Something...

Thanks.
