Camo netting is difficulty to "get right" because so much of what is available it is substantially out of scale and thus people don't use it much. It also tends to get caught up on brush and obstacles when running outdoors. That said I like camo netting and your tank looks good wearing it.
Here is just one of the Challenger 2s we had at the last San Diego "Modern / Cold War" drive and battling day event. Notice it has some camo netting on the barrel.

The Challenger 2 is actually pretty popular here in the states. We have a rapidly growing following of hobbyist that are getting more into the Cold War / Modern tanks so the Challenger fits right in.

Very professional looking paint job, looks perfect for the terrain she’s patrolling! Does get me concerned that such shrubs will tear up camo netting though 😬!Twenty six tanks, and not done yet!

Very nice tank, but it has me wondering… is that the henglong m1a2?
Forgive my old English. Ye of little comprehension. It’s a British Challenger 2, with upgraded TES. Theatre Entry Standard.
It is known as Ya Bastard due to being British and it brakes a lot. Yes it is a Heng Long. It has metal road wheels, return roller, drive sprockets, metal tracks with rubber pads, cannon recoil, smoke and flash, an expensive up amour kit, and up graded motors and gearbox for a scale speed. The paint and call signs are on a Royal Tank Regiment tank. But the sodding thing still breaks. I have a love/hate relationship with it. Don’t go there. Stick with your Tiger young Padawan.
Ask your parents.
See Star Wars reference.
