MiG-17 A03091 extra parts - ground attack rocket pods????

[hugha]

Returning to modelling after 40+ years away. On the new tool MiG-17, what are the following parts, and where should they go?

A11/A12 and A18/A19

A6/A7 and A8/A9

A16/A17

A15 x 2

Almost certainly they're intended for a further release with alternative decal and armament options. As has been mentioned before, it would be helpful if Airfix provided a parts map so that it's clear if anything is not for use.

Thanks - located the existence of the rocket pods - they seem to have been fitted somewhat inboard of the inner wing fences - but only on the 6bis variants.

Here's a real pic:

The NVAF put a couple of bombs on the MIG17 and attacked a US destroyer (they hit a gun turret too which is pretty amazing work with dumb bombs from a 2nd Gen jet). I'm not sure if they'd have mounted them where the rockets are fitted or in place of the tanks.
