They were (are) beautiful to behold!

I am not sure if the stock skins where updated with the new lighting/rendering capabilities but this Canadian skin really stood out for me:

Looking at it and comparing it to those new skins, it seems apparent that the medal look on the Canadian skin is lacking somewhat, when compared with the shiny goodness in the shots above. Still, it may give a good impression of how the older skins will work with the new engine.
