Developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company, it entered service with the United States Air Force (USAF) in the early 1950s. It was widely used during the Cold War—particularly during the Berlin Crisis and the Vietnam War—for detecting and jamming Soviet radar systems, as well as conducting reconnaissance missions over Warsaw Pact territories. The USAF operated the RB-66B Destroyer from 1955 to 1975. The aircraft was distinguished by its ability to perform long-range missions at altitudes over 10,000 meters.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eModel scale: 1\/72 – the ideal balance between level of detail and size of the finished model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOriginal user country: United States.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod of service: Cold War, 1955–1975.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eConstruction: plastic model, parts precisely made by injection molding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSet contents: detailed decals, detailed cockpit, recreated ceilings and landing gear, electronic equipment panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePaints and glue not included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe number of parts allows for a high degree of historical accuracy and realism of reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eProduct category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic model kit – military aircraft, 1\/72 scale.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eOur recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e We recommend the Italeri 1375 DOUGLAS RB 66B DESTROYER for intermediate and advanced modelers who want to expand their collection of Cold War-era models or are interested in the technology and tactics of electronic warfare.
