Hi Danny,

The ribs stand out of the overall profile of the wing. The effect to achieve is one of stretched canvas, like in this photo of a Fairey Swordfish torpedo plane. WWI aircraft had fewer, more prominent ribs. Even so, it would be easy to get overboard and overstate them. It is just only stretched canvas over wooden ribs, not mini-fins.
