Ok, just had a quick look at the Jack's armament, and read that the first 150 or so production models actually had engine mounted guns...

Apearantly, the japanese version of tintin is looking up to see if there are any B-29''s overhead, so he can run into his J2m and shoot them down.
The compostion is a bit weird, that's why I want to know what the japanese caracters on the bombs and on the jack mean......
