Auster AOP9 colours and flight capabilities

Hi.
I’m building a 1/4 scale RC model of the Auster AOP9 and need some help on a couple of topics. A build thread is available here:

http://www.rcscalebuilder.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21475&PN=1

The first is the camo colours used on the plane when in sevices by the Army Air Corps. The prototype, WZ662 is most likely the one I’ll replicate. What I need is the correct colour codes. I was wisiting Eggesford in 2010 and have a lot of pictures, but the plane is fairly faded and it is difficult to get the right colours from a photo.

The second is the flight capabilities of the aircraft. Is it capable of any aerobatic manouvers, ie loops, rolls, spins etc. From the Pilot Notes handbook i find it is allowed to spin unintensionally for a maximum of two turns, but what about other manouvers?

Any help is appreciated.
