Those helmets with netting may seem convenient, but they are a pain to paint right. I start with a light color, then add thin oil washes to build up between the netting.I’ve also done it starting with a dark color, and putting like a Dark Yellow or light Olive Green over it. While it dries, I’m rotating the helmet so the wash doesn’t pool in one area. It’s involved. I usually use Tulle fabric and the like to make real netting for 1/35 up to 1/16 scale. Especially if one builds larger kits, the molded on netting doesn’t stand up to real fabric.

What do you use to glue the Tulle fabric? Thanks

Usually spray adhesive like Elmer’s. Then the fabric is twisted into a stalk below the helmet brim, and set aside to dry. When it’s dry, It gets cut wth a utility knife.A little more spray adhesive dabbed on the inside edge of the helmet secures the loose edges, and the excess gets gently pressed up against the innner sides. Here are some pics of painted helmets and Tulle applied as netting.
The “tulled” helmet is a 1/32 Airfix Multipose Japanese helmet.The lighter helmet needs more washes:
