Mirage III, Mirage V, Nesher, Dagger, and Kfir

There was a Mirage 5 which was very aerodynamic, with no windscreen at all:

It'd be an expensive model, but you could do that with a Mirage 5 and Leduc 022 kits.

There was a Mirage 5 version with the drag of a windscreen but big visibility:

2-seat Mirages 5 are not completely what-if (the Mirage 5BD is seriously famous in Belgium) but I am completing the collection:

made me think of a prone pilot version. Have you done one of them?

Thanks!
