So, would a Rhodesian Harrier be a fair subject?

Absolutely! While not African-designed, it would be in service with an African nation so that would be totally
fine.

Maybe not Rhodesian, but close:

i was thinking of building a BAe Hawk T.1 as a Rhodesian Air Force light fighter/attacker, as a replacement for the Hunter and Vampires in RRAF service. maybe in a 2-tone grey camo, introduced in the 1990's with low-vis roundels? maybe later Hawk 100's?

I built this with the idea it was used in Africa (or somewhere like that) by the RAF

It's always a great pleasure to see one of your finished models and this one has some of the most appropriate African jungle camo around!

Most excellent, Robert!

Found some post-1974 Imperial Ethiopian vehicles I built some time ago & thought they might inspire someone.

Excuse the P-Bucket watermarks - I haven't gotten around to replacing these images in their original posts ................ yet?

Mecar 90mm gunned LAV-150;

Cockerill 90mm gunned LAV-150;

M-60;

Hope someone finds them a useful source of ideas!

If it's any help to anybody, I do have several sets of African Nations decals.

Twenty year old build (since given away) of a SADF Oliphant 1A MBT.

Mostly a 1:35th Tamiya Centurian, with most of the rest sourced from an (ESCI?) M60 kit.

Have some historical context https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cuito_Cuanavale

Found a source of decals for Hunters of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe at various times, may find their way onto a Harrier or two.

Harriers are underrated IMHO.
