Some parts of every drawing are the result of the designer's preferences. These may not be exactly the way you like building models; no problem, as long as you are happy with the integrity of your preferred method then use it. However, whatever modification you make should be easier and quicker to build, lighter or stronger or preferably all of them. For example, the plan shows partially sheeted open structure wings with cap strips across the ribs. The full size had a fully sheeted wing. There is no problem substituting this type of construction with fully sheeted wings. This is quicker to do and will hold the washout in place more effectively than an open structure. It will also be safe to only fit webbing to ribs 1-4 if sheeting is used. This is stronger and quicker than shown on the plan but probably not lighter, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
