I have the camo. painting finished. I painted the lower hull & wheels Flat Black.
There is a slight gap between the Tires & Wheel Rim on one side of the Tire, it all depends upon the tread direction. It's not really big, just barely visible if you know where to look.

Here is how I did the Headlight Guards.
Don't bend the short side yet.
Bend the short side when you have it on the form supplied in the kit.

The instructions aren't very clear on how to bend the guards.
Here is the Left front Guard installed.
The Right side.
And front view.
That's all for now.

I have the Missile Bay Doors installed.
You should trim the inside of the clips on the bottom of the doors so they don't break off the hinge pins.
Snap on the doors very carefully
this view is of where the doors attach to the hinges.
I glued the doors in place.
You can't really open and close them with the radiation shield in the open position.
The radiation shield is the object inside the missile bay closest to the control area.

The Spider is finished.
You will have to build the Missile with the Guidance mechanisms folded or the Missile will not fit.
