I saw a WW2 relic from this kind of romanian tank in Slovakia, found on battle field and looked like it was yellow, not blue. No markings of cammo pattern were visible for me, but I am not a specialist. There were some other forumists there, maybe they saw something different than me...

I have seen only the tank from the MMN courtyard and it's well known that one had no camouflage scheme! From the pictures posted on the internet, I did not realize if the Romanian R35 tanks had or not a camouflage scheme.

According to the photos from that topic, they did wear a cammo livery - at least in the beginning of the war (probably those of Polish origin, likely forming a battalion) - http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/index.php?showtopic=2048 The images can also be seen on the site, in the “weapons” section, and in the “multimedia” section under R 35 label.

Indeed in some pictures and in the short film can be seen R35 tanks with camouflage scheme painted on them. I also read in a french-english book dedicated to the R35 tank that the romanian ex-polish R35 used in 1940-41 a french-origin camouflage scheme but I wasn't sure if the information is accurate.
