And damn, that site is a good example of non-user-friendly design … WTF sticks sets of a hundred photos in a lightbox that looks like it’s a new page, and that you can only scroll through by holding your mouse pointer over the bar of pictures at the bottom?! After looking through a few of those pages to try and find Chris’s photo, in hopes of providing a working link to, I gave up

Anyway, the netting doesn’t look like normal camouflage net to me either — you can clearly see hexagonal shapes, but too large to be standard chicken wire. I get the impression it’s wire over a piece of cloth (hessian or something?) and with some more bits of cloth and branches stuck/tied on. No idea how it’s attached to the tank, but since the spare track armour must have been welded on, maybe the welder also attached the wire onto the turret?
