It was, IIRC, included with the "Testors 1/72 SR-75 Penetrator Spyplane, 4078". 



I bought the model in a moment of weakness - it was on sale in an Ocean State JobLot store, and I hadn't built anything for months. 

There was a release of the SR-75 Penetrator that came with the equally fictional XR-7 Thunder Dart.
Which may be what you're thinking of as no version came with a D-21 drone.



The late Phil Brandt built the combo many years ago. It was featured on Hyperscale:
SR-75 & XR-7

The Italeri kit is the Testors  kit reboxed. The two companies had a close relationship for many years.

I guess I "invented a memory", then ... I don't know where l got the drone.   
The Penetrator thing I build years ago - in the 80s.  I know it got destroyed, but ... I moved a lot in those days.  I lost a lot of stuff.

The D-21 drone was never carried by the SR-71, but it was carried by the M-21 which was an early version of the two-seat A-12.
The SR-71 was developed from the M-21 by way of the YF-12. The first M-21 is on display at the Museum of Flight in Seattle with a D-21 on its back. The D-21 was removed for a short while back in the late-'90s, or early-'00s, I don't recall exactly, when it was realized that the ramjet engine and systems hadn't been removed before the USAF donated the drone to MOF. Red faces all around from USAF and Lockheed. After being demilled it was returned to MOF and put back on display.
