This means that the GUIMessageClass ditdn't implemented a method, nothing
related to QML.

GuiMessageClass::~GuiMessageClass {
    qDebug() << "Destructor Method \o/";
}

This means that the  vendor and product model are not exported to QML, I
see that you are exporting them - but you are exporting them after defining
the QML file, maybe changing to before setting the main.qml would work?

Qt Creator QML management is buggy.
