I got it via www.richmondrc.com and it has the new Polycoat covering. The sales people were great and explained that VMAR did have 'issues' in the past but planes built within the last 1 1/2 years have been 'upgraded'.
(from the richmondrc website)
POLYCOTE ECS is a brand new Enhanced Covering System engineered in Canada specifically for use only on VMAR ARF models!

POLYCOTE ECS is a complete proprietary system that utilizes Ultratough Polyester, enhanced graphics and detailing inside the covering and very minimal Sure Seal Seams to produce a totally fuel proof, high strength, lightweight, ultra durable covering.

POLYCOTE ECS is toughest polyester based system ever used on a model! The graphics and detailing are inside the POLYCOTE... not stuck on top! No Decals! No Layers! No Strips! No Stripes! No Drag!

I am expecting the plane in late September and will let you know how the quality is when it arrives.
