The twin-engine high swept wing Douglas RB-66 Destroyer entered in service in the mid- 50s to equip the USAF photo-reconnaissance squadrons. Derived, as the Douglas B-66 bomber version, from the A-3 Skywarrior, it had adopted a lot of changes compared to the US Navy aircraft. Thanks to the two J71 turbojet engines, the Destroyer was able to reach a max speed of 940 Km/h and guarantee an operative range of 1,800 miles. The equipment for the reconnaissance were installed in the loading bombs bay. A lot of RB-66s had been used by the USAF Squadrons located in Great Britain, Germany and Japan during the escalation of the Cold Wars proving their effectiveness in the intelligence and recon duties.

A classic old kit from Italeri . As with most older kits the detail is basic , the cockpit has detail you will never see and the fuselage had a large rectangular recess along the join line which needed filling as did the main wing root , nothing we are not use to as kit bashers. The main reason to buy the new version and not a cheap second hand old kit is the large high quality extensive decal sheet which has a Vietnam camo scheme .At £14.60 this kit is a bargain .
