Brazilian Rhinos

[Geoff]

In 1969 Brazil wanted to obtain F-4's but the US refused and they got Mirage IIIE's instead.
What if the US offered a striped down air defence version strikingly similar to the F-4F so as not to upset the balance of power in the area when they agreed to sell the F-5E in 1974? Just a thought.

Strangely enough the Swiss also evaluated the rhino, but did not select it. I suspect it was far too big for the Cavernen

The Brazillian AF had the gray/green camo on the Mirage IIIE and F-5E but they also had other schemes on both types so, there's plenty of choice for cool looking builds.

The Portugal  went through the same options back then but ended up not getting any of the 3 types in question so i gave them the F-4F, the F-5EP (AKA the Hippie)  , the F-5F and the  Mirage 5PL
IRL, Portugal did consider the Mirage 5 as a cheaper option during the war years but came back to the IIIE for the final choice before the Carnation revolution happened and all military acquisitions were put on hold until a new government could take over and make decisions about these matters.
