Hi guys,
Well although I like the "GT" weathering style, the Snipe could be considered a bit overdone, taking in the short-service life the type was actually involved in combat before the Armistice.......this one looks like it would have been a veteran campaigner from back in the summer of '18 (still, I bet it looks real good in-game).
Rob, VikS mentioned one "metal" property as being enabled in the recent development shots here, whatever that may be......the cowls do seem to shine nicely.
