If someone has a 1/48 (or 1/50) scale Mirage III, can they please measure the wings for me?

I need to know how long the wing at the root is and how wide the wing is along the trailing edge.  If someone could tell me in millimetres what the wing is (and what make of kit it is), I'd really appreciate it.

Chord = 131 mm total, 130 mm to trailing edge of control surfaces.

Trailing edge = 71 mm

Span (lower wing is in one peice) = 172 mm

Kit - Italeri Mirage IIIE 1/48th

Kit number 2634 (old Esci kit)

Thanks!  I am at work and can't compare the size to the fuselage I have but I suspect its a little small.  Mmmm, anybody got a Mirage 2000 or Mirage IV in 1/48 they can measure for me?
