Notes
The Fighting Coati is based heavily on the design of the Coati advanced trainer. Although designed by Alexander von Ahrens in 1937 as part of Coati development, the aircraft didn't make it off the drawing board until mid-1939 following the reorganization of the FACH, when the air force decided to order a number of "frontier defense" fighters to cover more remote regions such as eastern Chilean Bolivia and southern Tierra del Fuego. Although slow compared to front-line fighters even of previous generations, the Fighting Coati was well-liked as it largely mimicked the positive handling capabilities of the Coati trainer, making it easily accessible to reservist pilots, and had a spacious and comfortable cockpit.

A few interesting things in there.

Probably wouldn't mix the Coati trainers in with regular squadrons. Why would you use the trainer when you've got a real plane to practice with? Just need something to bumble around in to other airfields. Maybe a larger trainer like the Avro Anson for navigation and TAG training.

Likely a bit optimistic with the design schedules with the aircraft. You usually want the designer (or rather design team) around during manufacture and trials as well. There are going to be modifications to designs needed, especially in this period.

I think I'd go for option two with the Fighting Coati. The extra crewman will be more useful than the increase in the performance when operating in the low threat environment.
