Bevel the edges. This also helps in setting panel alignment.

Then adjust your attitude, and decide you like some gaps. For unless your panels are cut absolutely perfectly, you will have to have some gaps to achieve the faired shape. By pulling all the gaps tight, you will create waves and inconsistencies in the final shape.
