Default Tissue Painting/Stinson Reliant colors???

Hello all,
I just inherited a beautiful 20-year old Stinson Reliant airplane. It has a wingspan of 59 inches. Does anybody know which kit this was? Also, it is covered in clearish-white semi-transparent tissue paper. Can I paint it? If so, Do I use a brush or airbrush (not that I have one)? What kind of paint should I use? I'm thinking of powering it with an O.S. .45 2-stroke, but I have bigger engines if you think it should be bigger, just say so. It has dual aileron servos, and was I think designed for a sideways mounted engine, so that not much sticks out the cowl. And it is missing the windshield and side windows.... any suggestions? Thanks for your help.
