Heimdall's port side wing - internal structure

Here is a sneak peek of what I'm currently working on. It is going to be a mid range reconnaissance spaceship called Heimdall. Powered by a pair of thermonuclear engines and equipped with a series of thermo-dump panels. So nothing fancy like FTL stuff but still good enough for some space dudes from the 80s ;)

 

Until today I was unsure if the overall design is actually doable because of the wing's mass and its tendency to bend. The panels covering the wings are mostly constructed from 1x1s therefore ensuing the rigidity was quite challenging.
