I'm not a modeller.... but a thought....

You can buy cheapie dental inspection mirrors from Boots I think. The material used in the mirror is very thin and not glass - it could be prised out and cut to shape I would have thought.

Something like this:

What about using metal foil covered in the type of very thin glass/plastic you find on picture frames? Or even the type of plastic used to laminate paper?
