Plastic Portuguese

Despite their provenance I'm rather looking forward to these. Very useful.

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

My main question is what else can they be used for with tweaks from the other plastic bits boxes :)

Well, I suspect that with parts from Victrix, Perry etc you could do quite a few Dutch Belgian types just for starters.

I know I want them principally for conversion to Brazilians for the Cisplatine War but I shall also want a few in the early shako for use against the French at Cayenne.

I knew there was a reason we let the Belgians go. Ok, let's rephrase. I still want my plastic Dutch

It is tough to tell from just that shot but they look like you could almost use them as Isabellinos in the Carlist Wars.

With a head swap they should be usable as prussians in portugese uniforms. There were some units in this dress in the Waterloo campaign. And the Perry prussians box gives you a couple of extra heads.
