The stabs were purple from the factory on all of them, the photo kl729 posted simply has the sun reflecting on them--look closely, the h.stab looks rather "lavender". Every other photo clearly shows purple stabs on all their n/c planes.

And Aviatorisu said the GJ release will have purple stabs.

For me I'm watching to see how the fuselage is painted. The fuselage should be overall VERY pale grey, but the aft fuselage stripe is pure white. DW has the overall fuselage white, and GJ has the fuselage overall Airbus grey that matches the wings. The fuselage should be a very pale grey, much lighter than the wings.
