Right side of the assembled mechanics with O.S.61 SXH glow engine.	Left side of the assembled mechanics.	The self contained Fenestrom tail unit.
Front of the Dauphin with the cockpit started.	Hirobo 4 blade metal rotor head and scale head button.	Ready for painting, with paper in the windows to protect from overspray.
Right side, note the scale winch mount and openable nose.

When I first started looking at detailed scale models there were not many companies to choose from but Hirobo was one of the pioneering companies that invested a lot of effort into producing scale models and several accessory kits for them. Some of my first scale models were Hirobo and the Dauphin was no different.

Hirobo in my opinion has completed the Dauphin with care and precision. The Fenestrom tail unit, originally designed for the Gazelle has been reused with success in this model. The mechanics have been well researched and fit with perfection inside the fuselage. The fuselage itself is Polyester but is of very high quality.
