Shiplap- I spec this detail in many of the houses I design and our trim guys often uses quarters wedged between the boards as they install. It's just the right size gap to keep the paint clean and the gap size completely consistent.
I do think this gap looks a little bit bigger though... maybe use thicker washers?
