About rib 15 was before but my rib 18 and 25 are little bit to small. I need to build them up. Anybody have that problem with ribs?

All I do with smaller ribs is stick a strip of 1mm plank down the length of the rib, or 2 depending on how much to build it up, and then sand it back. It worked a treat on my Black Pearl build and I will be doing the same on the Victory.

To add to this, when you sand the hull (fair) there will be areas where its not sanded, you can spot these quit easy, these are the areas to build up as mentioned above.
Some frames need adding to, some need more taking away, fairing is worth taking time over, believe me you will notice any dip's and springy planks if not done well.
I've just marked mine to indicate what frames need attention with a black marker.
