Is it a J in the first place? I seem to recall it having thin wings... At least the Bullpups and outboard MERs come in the kit, not sure for the EMI pod though.

 

Centreline gas bag only. Instructions here for your personal blast from the past:

and the Sparrows.

Let's face it though,all box art of that period was a bit of a fantasy and it probably worked as how many of us as youngsters bought them despite probably knowing little about the actual aircraft?

As @junglierating says,all good fun.

Can't argue with that! The 'red stripe' box art  on the Airfix Wellington, for instance, where it's conducting a night attack from about 500' while the nose and tail gunners blaze away merrily at random into the conflagration below. A lot more inspiring than the 1980s box, which reveals the ghastly reality of what lurks inside: enough to deflate almost anybody's enthusiasm. The original box art for the Matchbox Phantom wasn't bad.
