This aircraft carried the "wraparound" version of the South East Asia scheme, comprising Dark Green FS34079, Medium Green FS34102 and Tan FS30219. The upper wings were painted gloss white. Black "ED" tailcodes were carried together with the 6512th TS standard fin stripe - blue outlined in white and containing white "X"s;
