Kits depicted include Guardman Robot, Hari Hari, Iron-Robot 28 and Attack Boy.

Does anyone recognize the kit at the extreme upper left?

The box artwork for some of these was done by Shigeru Komatsuzaki:

Depicted is the Missiler robot, whose box art was also done by Mr. Komatsuzaki:

and, after a little "googling", this sharper image from the 1971 Bandai catalog

confirming that the model kit is called Hercules 70.
