Ya the J had incredible performance. I think about 500 mph or close to it anyway.
Kinda wondered why they didn't put it into production. Maybe too much time lost to put the production lines down for the change over.

Those external tanks seem awfully large. Do you know their capacity?

I would say these look like the 570 litres (150 US gallons) fuel tanks. But possible these are the 409 litres ( 108 US gallons ) ones.
