This Aeroplane Heaven set has been converted to CFS2. So the textures should work in CFS2. However I have added some alphas to make the aluminium dope slightly reflective, which will make the lower surfaces a bit transparent. But when you remove the alphas the textures should work perfect.

BTW the fabric covered wings from the RAF Hurricanes were replaced by all metal wings, long before the war. However there are pictures, taken during the Battle of Britain, on which you can see Hurricanes refitted with fabric covered wings again. Aluminium was a sparse item during the Battle of Britain, therefore there often wasn't an other option than to fall back on the old wings.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Very nice work Huub. Really sets the Hurricane off.
As a personal aside, dad knew Edgar "Cobber" Kain and flew once with him, before he left to join the RAF, so there's always been an interest in any of his stuff.
