I'm making this FT17 scheme (top tank)......

but I can only find the scheme from that side. I need some pics of the other side, rear and top if possible. I've looked but can't find any builds of that scheme anywhere.

Just wing it. You can see that there's about twice as much sand color as green, and the basic style. Just carry the pattern over the top and down the other side.

I hardly believe that there were some standardized schemes in the Great War. So paint whatwver you like, nobody will care for. But remember that the tanks were painted that time not sprayed.
