Mini ribs and primer: 5 hours

I made a lot of mini ribs today and ended up with one I was happy with for the elevator skin. I then had to add rivet holes and dimple them. Then I primed the rest of the left elevator parts and skin.

I like the mini ribs versus the tab bending because it's an incremental process versus a one shot deal. I think Vans should update these parts of the kit to include computer cut prepunched mini ribs and skins.
