We have performed a parameter study of the spectral evolution of a typical post-AGB star with particular emphasis on the evolution of the IRAS colours. The models are based on the latest evolutionary tracks by Blöcker (1995, A&A 297, 727 and A&A 299, 755), which are used to define the evolutionary rate and the mass loss history of the central star. The resulting model for the post-AGB star is then used to calculate the spectral evolution with the photo-ionization code CLOUDY (Ferland 1993, Univ. of Kentucky, Int. Report), which includes dust in the radiative transfer.
