AK vs Aliexpress Camo Netting comparison

After buying the AK Camoflage netting i was a bit dissatisfied with its size, therefor i checked aliexpress for alternatives and found a listing that offers the same product but in a much larger size.
Both are of equal price.
There are different options from different sellers, which i assume are all the same.
i bought some of the MANWAH brand.
They are much larger than the AK ones. But of exact same colour and material, Nylon and 0.1mm thickness.
I bought the other mimetic type so i have both.
Interestingly enough the AK Type 1 Netting equals the Manwah Type 2.
in the pictures depicted theres a AK and Manwah Type 1
I can post a Link to the items if its allowed here, im unsure.

I’m pretty sure they are the producer of the AK Nettings, or are buying from the same manufacturer.


Depicted left is the AK net and on the right the MANWAH

Very interesting. The patterns look a little different from each other to my eye, maybe it’s the lighting.

The patterns are different because the AK Type 1 is different to the MANWAH type 1.
If anyone has an AK Type 2 pictureit should match up to the right one in my pic.

but maybe mine is “wavy” and the AK one is straight

i could only find this, couldnt find unpacked ones.

I also buy most (all) of my modeling and scenicking supplies from AliExpress. The quality is similar to mainstream Western brands at a fraction of the cost.

For those that are interested, MIL-PRF-53134 and MIL-C-53004 cover this type of netting. It should be noted that these are attached to an underlying square mesh net. I’ve attached some illustrations from the specs to show the color patterns for woodland.
