Color scheme would depend on the group. Many 8th AF FG's were in NMF from states in April 1944.
Not sure which -no for the R-2800.. would that make a difference in a 1/72 scale model?

Thank you drgondog for your help.
I think that "paddle" means broad blades.
This plane was captured by germans on May 25th, 1944 (and coded T9+LK). It was from 301st FS, 332nd FG, 15th AF. If it would be in Natural metal, the color scheme would be with german paints, if not, it would be a probability that it would be in original drab color.
About the engine, only for curiosity (I suspect a water-injection one).
Thank you again for help.
