Wez Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 does anyone know of any 1/72 plans for the XF-84H Thunderscreech? I think there were some in an old, old copy of PAM (Plastic Aircraft Modeller) News from waaaaaaaaaay back in the 1970's, IIRC they ran a competition converting the Airfix kit into the turboprop monster, there may have been articles describing how it was done. They're buried waaaay deep in the stash, it would take me a while to find them - hopefully somebody's got them closer to hand. If ever there's a subject that's long overdue a modern kitting of it then the F/RF-84F series are it - go on Revell, you know you want to!

Wez Thanks Wez, I have the idea of converting an Italeri Thunderflash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennings Heilig Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Honestly, there are no really good F-84/RF-84 drawings at all that I'm aware of (hence the controversy over whose kit is accurate or not), so I wouldn't bet there are any reliable plans for the Screech.. Probably just go from photos and do your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Well I've found the article with the plans (FWIW), there's also some useful photos of the 'screech, unfortunately I can't find the articles where the competition winners described how they converted the kit - PM me if you're still interested.

viscount806x Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 does anyone know of any 1/72 plans for the XF-84H Thunderscreech? Did you know that there was a Maintrack 'Project X' kit of this? I sold one just recently on e bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
