J-066 is used
by the Royal Netherlands Air Force for the test and evaluation of the release of
various weapons, missiles, fuel tanks, etc.
On test aircraft, all non-standard internal wiring ('jumpers') are coloured
orange, so this jet acquired the nickname "Orange Jumper", which
explains the kangaroo on its tail.
A modified Orpheus Pod with additional instruments is often seen mounted on the
centerline pylon and the special painted fueltanks make it a very coloured
model.
There's one
full colour instruction sheet, a full set of reinforcement plates and one
Orpheus Pod is included in this set. The decals are available in two scales.
(link
with steps & tips how to apply these reinforcement plates)
This sheet is
also available in 1/48.
You can buy
this decal sheet directly from the Daco
Products website.
