I think that the wings look pretty good. Take a look at a real one.
Edit. Direct linking to the images didn't work, so lets try something else.

Thanks, I should take a more detailed image. There is strips and rivet details at every spur on the wings, and in between it is flat. I think I may have poorly explained it too. Thanks for the reference images.

I think that those are trying to be rib tapes and stitching. If so, they can be sanded almost entirely away; you don't see much more than subtle bumps on a properly finished wing.
Still, it's better to have them to be removed than not have them and need to add them.
