Fin Repaint

I’m not sure why but recently the 747 fin in Future of Flight at Everett made it to be a popular photo on Airliners Net.  The fin sits inside the museum section and it was painted as a 747-8 fin, even though it actually came from a British Airways 747-100.  The picture had it with the -8 paint finish.  I have a similar shot but the fin has recently been repainted in a blue finish.  Not sure what the purpose was but, since Boeing have taken over Future of Flight, they must have had a reason.  If anyone knows why, let me know in the comments.
