I've been able to make much nicer looking models with that trick. It does tend to make the shadow projection wonky, however.

Frying Tiger FTW!

I did a test where I detached the polygons around the forward elevator and it looks nice, you can compare it to the way it was before by looking at the elevator behind it.
