CD, I have this picture of yours imprinted in my Brain! This picture says everything there is to be said about compound curves and panel lines.

The trick is to get the joined sections to come together in an area where it disappears. As in the attached photo. It also helps to be a master of the craft when it comes to printing, cutting and gluing. I have seen plenty of good models put together poorly, and the opposite, poor models built by brilliant craftsman. As the old saying goes. “it's a poor craftsman who blames his tools”
