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

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
