Riveting Main Wing Ribs to Spars

Although I haven't posted in a while, I have been making good progress. Here are some pictures of the right wing with the main ribs riveted to the main and rear spar. I've finished the left wing main ribs and only need to prime them.

This is looking through the lightening holes.
