You can make it with standard medical gauze (which can sometimes be hard to come by) or you can use cheesecloth. To color it, water down whatever color (inks work well for this as well) you want to use on in a small dish and let the gauze/cheesecloth soak in it for a while. After you take it out and it dries, apply watered down PVA glue to it and place it where you want on the model. The PVA glue dries to keep its shape and provides adhesion to the surface it's placed on.
You can also buy some pre-colored 1:35 scale netting from a company called Verlinden Productions based out of Missouri. Just search for "Verlinden cammo netting" on Google and you'll find plenty of supplies that sell it.
