here is its fuselage :

....with Mirage wings, yes?

That looks VERY good, and pretty believable too. 

[Later] Of course they're Mirage wings, you said so in the header................ 

[lenny100]

look like it might of been built if they had started 2 or 3 yaers later

Very nice. The ensemble looks curiously French.

Wonderful!
Is the Mirage IV: 1/72? (together with the 1/32 X-1) that would be a marvellous scale-o-rama work!
Your world is so much better than the boring Reality...

It's the air brakes, a typical Dassault feature.

Good job Eric.  Put some USAF or NASA markings on it and it could almost be a genuine delta X Plane.

In period 'twould be NACA. NASA didn't come into being until October 1, 1958.* 


*Yes, I know that NASA was "established"when Ike signed the papers on July 29, 1958, however
it didn't functionally exist until October 1 when the NACA became defunct and it was absorbed
by the new organization, as were a number of other previously somewhat autonomous rocketry
and "space technology" groups.

one more step in the chain :

VERY much like the Mirage G8-01, but with a low wing.
