Here's some Air Wisconsin 146 history

ok only one was a 300 series did AW fly the 300 in the old colours??

Unfortunately not, they were delivered in the United Express scheme (white)
N611AW, N612AW, N614AW, N615AW, and N616AW
www.airliners.net/open.file/1074530/L/

The -200's N601AW through N607AW were delivered in Air Wisconsin's colors. www.airliners.net/open.file/0188564/L/

-200's N608AW through N610AW (unsure) I believe were delivered in United Express Colors (white).

-200's gained by acquisition/ merger/ purchase/ lease N290UE, N291UE, N292UE all came in United Express (white) since they came over from Westair Commuter Airlines (also United Express at one point).

N156TR, N179US, N181US, N183US came into the fleet later, wearing United Express (grey).

The -100's N463AP, N246SS were incorporated wearing the United Express (white) colors.

All Series wore the final United Express (grey) colors, Though not every registration stayed around that long. Hope this helps.

Air Wisconsin was flying as it's own airline when it started 146 operations and then shortly (within a year) thereafter entered the marketing agreement with United Airlines as one of United's first express carriers, so the 146s didn't spend much (if any) time in the ZW scheme before being repainted into the old United "Friendship" livery.

The 146's N601AW through N607AW would've spent up to 5 years in Air Wisconsin colors.

613 is now a privately owned aircraft in the UK

There was no 613. There were 611-612, and 614-616.

You are correct. It was 614 that went to Private owners, 615 was the only one to go to Hemus Air. I misread the chart.
