i may be wrong but i read somewhere it may be in the region of 2000 kg??
Total weight of the paint load with the Wunala scheme a couple of hundred kg more than the 'standard'?

Chimbu, ain't that always the way? Measured with a micronomer and cut with an axe.

VH-XXX, Wunala was originally OJB. When it went in for a major service it came out in standard livery and one of the ERs went in and came out as Wunala. The differences between the two is that the engine cowls on the first version were included in the paint scheme whereas the ER has the standard grey cowls. You used to occasionally see a red cowl on a non Wunala and a grey cowl on wunala which is why they eventually went to the standard colour. It 'loses' something with the grey cowls I reckon.
