And done. I'm impressed with this model - there was only one issue, so pay attention while building.
Compare the piece in the picture, with the picture in the instructions. You'll note that there is an internal protrusion on the actual piece that does not exist in the instructions. This piece fits into a hole in the seats (also not in the instructions) and, coincidentally, was the piece that was missing and had to be resent by Dr. Pickypants.
I'm guessing that was a running change in the process, adding that piece was the right thing to do.

In my case, I had already installed the seats, with glue, by the time the missing piece arrived. Since the instructions for the seats don't show the holes for that piece, I made the choice to install them with the holes towards the inside, not the outside - this will all make sense when you're building.
So when my missing piece arrived, I had to shave off that little piece, and align the hoop by sight. I almost got it right...
You can see in my finished picture below, the B column behind the front door doesn't line up perfectly - doors still work, it's just the body piece that sticks out a bit. What you can't see is that I was not able to get the safari windows on the roof to fit - I am confident that its because I didn't guess right on this piece.
But, at the end of the day - I'm quite impressed with this model, and would order from Dr. Pickypants again.
