Probably metal, because they're quite difficult to kill with 30's, and they're a stubborn kill with 50's.

in batle of britain there are many pictures with hurricans with fabric missing and still flying with 30mm cannon hoes through them.

Since it's swinging a three blade prop, I'd go with metal wings. There are photos showing fabric covered winged Hurri's in the battle of Britain but they were the exception, not the rule.

The metal wings were introduced into production in 1939
