What was the colour scheme of the Romanian PzIV G (it was the panzer grey color as we can see on the PzIvG from the Romanian National Museum)?

Could someone provide details about colour and camo schemes of the Romanian PzIv (F2, G, H, J) ?

If I remember well, wasn't the PZ. IV at the Romanian Military Museum black, but not grey?

You are right it is actually a dark grey.. almost black... or maybe a kind of dark blue (dark navy), anyway, strange color...

Last time when I saw the exhibit in bright sunshine, it appeared to me that it's painted in dark grey, not black. I have to check my photos, though...

Yes, it looks definitely dark grey on colour photos taken in 1994.

I have a Top Gun magazine in which they present a Pz IV G model. I do not remember the exact color. I lent it to prejo some while ago, because he wanted to build a PZ IV model. PM him and ask.

Unfotunatelly no reply from Prejo... sad.gif

I found a picture in the worlwar2.ro photo gallery, a photo with a PzIV G... Unfortunatelly I can not read the number in the front of the tank. Does somebody have a better photo in order to distinguish the number in the front of the tank?

The same tank is in this photo, registration number U.039253. My presumption is that the photo was taken in spring 1943, after the retreat from Don's bend. In this series of photos, behind the T-4 is the T-3 U.039252, followed by the R-2 U.039223.

I can confirm the number on the white 'army licence plate' is U 039253 (seen in 1943).

Other numbers seen on Rumanian Pz.IVs were U-069015 (1946) and U-017238 (post-1947, RPR era).
