Scale Aluminum Model

curtiss c-46 commando experts?

i build 1/72 scale WWII aircraft models. i’m currently working on a c-46 williams brothers kit, and it comes with 3 and 4 blade props. i have finished it in bare aluminum, and i’m using later war star and bar emblems. my question is when did they use what props? logic would say the earlier less powerful engines were the 3 blade, but from what little i can find on the internet it seems that the ones in bare aluminum were 3 blade props. i just want it to be period correct. thanks in advance!

C46D models used the 4 bladed props. At least in all the pictures I could find. Other sources say the original prop was a 4 blade electric controlled and was replaced by 3 blade hydraulic props. The difference in C46 and D models were the number of cargo doors. I looked for an hour for the straight dope on the cargo doors and did not find it.
