Nope, when assembled together, these parts create a "spar-box" very robust but flat. It cannot be bent. A possible option to add some dihedre to the wing would be scoring in the middle the upper and lower parts (large ones) of the S-B and cutting / removing a "V" in the middle of the vertical walls of the S-B, prior assembling the parts.

The key question is : how many degrees the dihedre or the "V" ...?
