While BrickLink was down I started building this set.
I came across the two white wedge plates that needed to be attached to the large
white aircraft fuselage aft section top and the LEGO instructions show them being
attached by nothing more than two studs to the rest of that part in the build.
When I attached these parts to the aircraft fuselage in the subassembly for this
model's build, I ended up creating additional support to ensure that the
two wedges had adequate support on the inside to connect more studs from underneath
to the aircraft fuselage.
I used a custom build of plates to create a larger contact area for the connection.
This was to prevent the inside right-angle edges of both wedges from caving into
the aircraft fuselage part.
It was successful, and now that subassembly is a lot more rigid than if I had
gone with the medium azure 2x6 brick LEGO used in this section of the build for
the submarine model.
Sometimes LEGO just doesn't provide proper support for parts being attached
to a subassembly.
