This plane I made has no AG controls so anyways...

The Dassault Mirage III is a family of lightweight supersonic delta-wing interceptor made by the French, Its top speed could reach Mach 1.5 (1150 mph). It became a formidable adversary in the Six-Day war, the Yom Kippur war, and much more.

In 1952, the French government issued its specification, calling for a lightweight, all-weather interceptor. Amongst the respondents were Dassault with their design, initially known as the Mirage I. Following favorable flight testing held over the course of 1954, in which speeds of up to Mach 1.6 were attained, it was decided that a larger follow-on aircraft would be required to bear the necessary equipment and payloads. An enlarged Mirage II proposal was considered, as well as MD 610 Cavalier (3 versions), but was discarded in favor of a further-developed design, powered by the newly developed Snecma Atar afterburning turbojet engine, designated as the Mirage III. In October 1960, the first major production model, designated as the Mirage IIIC, performed its maiden flight. Initial operational deliveries of this model commenced in July 1961; a total of 95 Mirage IIICs were obtained by the French Air Force. The Mirage IIIC was rapidly followed by numerous other variants.

    you can slice the fuselage using Vertical Fill to open up the space for the cockpit
    also wheels touch the ventral missile which is unreal
