DreamKnight,

how do you intend on using it? Will it be all 'rolled' up on the tank in a stowed fashion, or do you want to deploy it all opened up and stakes or something?

If it's all rolled up, you should be able to get away with gauze from a first aid kit, as the spacing wont be all that easy to see, especially if you are going to add small strips to it to portray the Hessian tape. Just don't make a perfectly neat roll, bunch it up all twisted and misshapen, these nets got pretty beat and frayed and wouldn't remain perfect. The crews wouldn't take their time with exact folding either if they were just going to throw it on the tank to move, or to help break up the tanks silhouette.

I know this is 1/35 and you're asking about 1/48 but it should give you an idea of how I mean by stowing it somewhat randomly.
