as mentioned earlier, the kit decals were hardly usable anymore, so my dad took the decals for the canopy detonation cords from an Two Bobs sheet, some nerve wrecking work because they were very fragile

Very nice progress! 
There is a golden rule when building Harriers: Attach the nose wheel and the outrigger wheels before fitting the main wheels. This way it is possible adjust the height of the main wheel so that all wheels touch the ground. :)
