here is a direct link to a scale model mock up of the proposed design - Is it just me or are the rotors flushed with the body like some of the rotored / winged proposals from the USA?

Looks really nice what ever they are.

Yes GSA, I remember seeing s sikorsky proposal from the 1960's for a sort of convertiplane strike aircraft that had a rotor that folded away and lay flush to the top of the fuselage for high speed flight.
