Maybe on their site.
Its a real nice model but I feel it looks too much like others, they are drifting away from their Bell look.

Still I think its a beautiful heli and I like the yellow :D

It looks like it has the same profile as the Eurocopter without the Fenestron.
The high tail rotor don't suited.

Is it a fake rotor head or something new there doesn't seem to be any linkage to the blades ( see around 3:13)?

That's only a display model I think.
But this one is the real thing

It's all mock-up and rendering images. The design for the real thing is not finished yet. It won't fly before late 2013 or even 2014.

It's too bad Bell can't usethe fenestron technologie or something similar (because of patent I think). The high tail rotor is to move it away from people and the ground. If it was inclosed, it won't need to be that high as it won't be as dangerous.
