Arado ar234 rato units

Folks,

 

just taken posession of an ar234 nightfighter (thanks chris!) and on looking at the kit thought "what the hell are those things under the wings".

 

anyway, turns out to be these:

now I'm thinking a long time in advance till I build this but when they were jettisoned would the mounting frame have gone too?  Call me fussy but I don't want to have them on as to me it spoils the look of the aircraft...

Pretty sure the frame was jettisoned with the rocket unit. I've never seen a picture of an Ar234 flying with the frame still on the wings.

To start with I was confused by the box art as I thought (since it's shown flying) it was some sort or aerial mine....

 

or should that be parachute mine? :)
