You should try making the Brazilian Super-Dreadnaught that never was: The Rio de Janeiro.

What do you mean "never was"? It was comissioned as HMS Agincourt which the link itself tells you.

Plus I wouldn't go so far as to call it a super-dreadnaught as it only had 12-inch rifles.

It was the most gunned dreadnaught, having 7 twin turrets (14 in all) a number which no other battleship had ever since, as the most ever carried on a battleship.

I meant in Brazilian colors and as she was originally intended to look (she was modified for British service IIRC).

That's not what defines a super-dreadnaught.

She may have more guns but the Iron Duke for example had 13.5 inch guns, which is starting to get into the low end of super-dreadnaught territory.
