I've got a quick OOB build and paint project to test out the Mig mini set with a Hobby Boss T-26 coming up. I want to do a 3 colour scheme, for example:

Anybody else have any interesting schemes? They don't necessarily have to be T-26s, just something different, but 3 colour.
Thanks

Thanks HP, I'm not going to be too concerned with accuracy if I see a neat scheme. I guess I'm also looking for what would be considered "standard" patterns as I haven't really seen much in the way of 3 colour profiles. This is out of my normal interest zone and the kit only has green options.

Yup, and the colours are fairly accurate too. HP, do you have the internet memorised?

No, but I've got some time to spare for research

That looks like a nice set of profiles. Unfortunately the budget won't allow for it, as per usual.
