The one I have isn't very detailed and doesn't show the undersides. The Mirage III 001 used the wings of the unfinished Mirage II.

I think the Geli model looks more like the Mirage III 001 than a Mirage IIIC or the Mirage IIIA 01.

edit: oh, I also have these.

I have no idea when the windshield was changed for the final version (3 parts). Was it during its first life as the Mirage III 001 or was it after conversion to the VTOL Balzac V?

The last flight mentioned (september 1965) was the second crash as the Balzac V. The first one in 1964 claimed the life of Jacques Pinier in 1964 and the second one killed major P. E. Neale.
