Dassault's MD550-01 Mirage I prototype

Does anyone have any basic dimensions for this prototype? It originally had a pair of non-afterburning Armstrong-Siddeley Viper turbojets and was later upgraded to a pair of afterburning Vipers. It was also a hybrid fighter – using turbojets boosted by a rocket engine – and had a liquid fuel SEPR 66 rocket booster. This made the design sort of like the Saunders-Roe SR.53 fighter, only the SR.53 relied more on its rocket for fulfilling its short range intercept mission than the Mirage I.

I’ve seen alot of details about this prototype plane but have never seen dimensions for it. If anyone has anything dimensions-wise for the MD550-01 and/or MD550-02, please post them. Thanks in advance.
