Any VLM aircraft in CityJet colours yet?

I saw this on the CityJet website, is this an actual aircraft or a mockup?

The VLM website hasn't been updated for a while, it's still promoting VLM Encore despite the programme coming to an end, however, it's still not possible to book all VLM destinations on the CityJet website.

I was in Jersey on Saturday and saw one VLM F50 at the gate near ours and it was still in old, dark blue, scheme.

The F50s I saw at LCY tonight were also in old VG colors.

Well there are at least two F50s in the new colours.

I saw one out of my window the other morning (I like under the departure track for LCY) and I was at LCY for a flight a couple of hours later and saw OO-VLP on one of the stands with the new name Spirit of VLM. Looked very smart, apart from the black engine cowling. The inflight magazine had a picture of OO-VLF in CityJet colours. If the one I saw earlier was not OO-VLF then there must be three. The magazine said the whole fleet would get a repaint.

There was one in the new colours on the Antwerp apron a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately I did not have a camera at hand at the time.
It looked quite nice though.
