But, the one at the HAI show was not it flyable form. None have actually been "delivered" yet, as in to a customer who is actually operating one. The D has taken 7 or 8 years to develop. Its only a derivative with new engines and cockpit + plastic blades, not a new type. Throughout its life it has been starved of investment and engineering resources. It had a large personnel turnover in the program.
