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

[Tophe]

I have been inspired by Zero-Sen's Lightning III at https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=44882.225
and made the drawing of such a double Mirage:

It reminds me of a Buck Rogers space fighter.

Thanks!
It is funny that I invented again a plane first designed in the 25th century! The history of this family is : "first version flown in 2422, second version designed in 2022"...

Playing with Mirage 1/48 and Mirage 1/72 parts, for nose or all front fuselage, scale-o-rama way:

The fin was more efficient away from the big fuselage:

As for the related F-16, the double of the previous one is symmetric again, with double fins:

Yes, thanks for this idea of client. For Him the price scale 1 is one million thousand hundred dozen pink dollars...

This version of Mirage 5 Zwilling came from the idea: "even with double nose and two separate cockpits, our plane - as being a Mirage 5 - must have a single jet and single fin" (not like US F-12, F-13, F-14, F-15)::

There was a plastic model in progress, starting with a Kfir / F-21 and an F-16 intake.

Thanks! Very interesting!
Your link goes to a page from our friend tsrJoe, I didn't know if he still comes here, but the member tool on this site here answers yes (last time August 29th 2022).

Your link does not work anymore (or temporarily, I hope).
I wanted to check the date of invention for your project, as I have found I invented it (or re-invented it by myself) in 2019:

The cartoon images are from a Dan Copoper comic book, and I think it was originally published in 1980 or 1981.

The facebook link worked for me now.

Thanks!
Your new link says it was published 01/01/1981 for the French version. Yes, I invented again ignoring it has alrady been done, that happens sometimes or often.
Your previous link works again for me also, the problem was just temporary, fortunately.
Maybe I will try to draw this very one (close to mine) according to my angle, and with Mirage 5 as basis rather than Kfir, thanks again!
