Join Parts.......
I would join the two part together..............
But........you must be having a texture stretch issue????
Bevel will cost you extra polygons............
Just copy the part and delete all points except those that make up the polys at the seam. Pull the points out towards the other part. Join the part you have created with the new part.......but flip the polys first...............make your join tolerance almost zip to keep the points from moving. Scale the xyz of the points you have created to pull down to a bevel.
Repeat for the other part.........keeping the bevel down to a tiny gap. Or bevel to your preferences. Re texture.......
Add two cups sugar ........one teaspoon baking soda........and a lot of Vodka.........and call me in the moring.........
Can I have a membership to IronWorks now?...........I was looking for a Vietnam era carrier to do some traps screens in this AD-6 version.......and the VN links are all dead at the SOH ships resources.
This is a really great .......free Spad........ I was just wishing that dang shadow wasn't catching my eye........but.........I should be in the cockpit.........not outside taking pics

Rockster..
interesting method. But you might find that by joining the parts together creates a poly interference (like in this case). This can be overcome by changing the smoothing code, this will still give a faint line at the join but the interference will go away and the shadow with it.
Regrettably, the original .fsx file for this model is no longer available at the moment to alter it properly or improve the untextured parts.
You can pick up an Essex class for Korea at the shipyard, which incidentally has the hull and flight deck in multiple parts so that they could be textured with more detail.
I prefer rum or mead, and what time in the morning?

Intrepid .............modernized
Oh..........no model file............
Ok........I figured there was a reason........I thought it was a texture constraint.......
I was looking for an angled deck ...........modernized Intrepid.........but maybe I have my AD-6 in the wrong theater?
So......
I put in the old Stennis...........and went for a trap

...."Chocolate box art originally referred literally to decorations on chocolateboxes. Over the years the terminology has developed and is now applied broadly as a descriptive, but often pejorative, term to describe paintings and designs that are warm, idealistic and sentimental.
Using his own paintings of children, flowers and holiday scenes Richard Cadbury, the son of the founder of Cadburys, introduced such designs to his chocolate boxes in the late 19th century. Renoir's paintings have been described as 'chocolate box' and have been derided by the likes of Degas and Picasso for being happy, inoffensive scenes"............

Nice improvement...............
It looks like the fuselage seperation maybe fixable..................
It will give a much more classic skyraider profile...............
and
Improve an aready good freeware skyraider.......
to
Exceptional and I can't believe it's free!!!!!!!!
Right now................However,
I don't think my wingman cares to much about his texture shadow............SAM magnet.
I've been wild weasel in the "Rock Crusher.............
Skyraiders and SAM's are fun........but not advisable
I am looking forward to download of the new and improved TR A-? skyraider
