So who will be the first to come out with a model of it?

Bell Textron’s Valor wins Army’s FLRAA competition to replace Black Hawk - Breaking Defense
Well, all I can say is that the model kits will be nicer looking than the Sikorsky contender!
It will be interesting to see how different the service machines will look compared to the prototypes. I noticed the stub wings have inward retracting main wheels, so no space for ordnance.
Looks like a good AFV Club model subject.

The Bell development center is in Arlington TX. We’re just a few miles from the end of the runway at Arlington and have seen & heard the Valor in flight. All I can say is that it looks like the love child of a V22 Osprey and a H60 BlackHawk.
What nickname will it get? Not Valor. Not FishHawk (Osprey)
I haven’t head of a name nor V-number yet. Army tradition is to name helicopters after Indian tribes though. We shall see.
The poor Cobra’s are rolling over in their graves.[:D]
