Anigrand Craftswork - 1/72 Republic XF-84H Thunderscreech. In 1950, Wright Air Development Center of the U.S.A.F. had worked with Curtiss and Hamilton to study the concept of new propeller which could approach supersonic speed to a piston-engine fighter. The engineers of the Wadc needed a suitable airframe to test the concept, they selected most powerful Allison turboprop engine at the time, and chose to modify the F-84F for this new role. The concept also interested U.S. Navy to join the evaluation for a high-speed jet fighter with low fuel consumption by low take-off speed from turboprop driven propellers. In 1952, two prototypes were ordered to Republic and were designated XF-84H. Its maiden flight was made in 1955. The performance was not outstanding as it never reached supersonic spee

The performance was not outstanding as it never reached supersonic speed, but still became the fastest propeller-driven fighter. After proceeded with several flights, both the Air Force and Navy lose further interest in the research as the mid-flight refuel experiment for extending the range of pure-jet fighters was being successful.
