📋 About This Mod
This is my Hex Carbon Fiber Black Steel skin for the Combat Armor and Flight Helmet (Red). This is a standalone mod, The Flight Helmet is craftable at the Chem Station under Armor and the armor is done being modding, "Armor Type." Includes are skin replacers for the Traveling Backpack and BoS Officer Uniform to make a matching set. Everything has a white "Tron" like glow. Made to go with my Anodized Black Steel X01 PA, PAHud, and Pipboy skins, which new versions will be uploading tomorrow.
