I used to play a WWII flight sim called IL-2. Four of us started an online squadron called the Hell Hounds. As part of the game you could create missions for people to play. If you connected a series of missions you could create campaigns. A lot of people made campaigns for the P-51, the Spitfire or the FW-190.

I went the other route and made campaigns for the “crap” planes as they were often called. I made fictitious campaigns for the Japanese seaplane named the Rufe, the Russian IL-2 torpedo bomber and the U.S. Navy SBD-3. In one of the SBD campaigns you are assigned to an escort carrier that was sent to the Aleutians to fight the Japanese that have set up a base on a small island. The escort carrier Casablanca (CVE-55) was modified to withstand the frigid environment and renamed The Polar Viper.

As a tribute to my friends in the Hell Hounds I painted this rocket using (more or less) a WWII U.S. Navy color scheme. I added the call signs we used on one tail; Beebop, Dubbo, Quazi, and Zeus-cat. I put The Polar Viper’s mascot on another tail. And I put the 55 on the final tail as I used CVE-55 in the campaign.

The decal of the mascot didn’t turn out that well and I will replace it. I will also add a larger version of the mascot between Zeus-cat and The Polar Viper lettering. And just in case anyone feels the need to ask, the snake is wearing a scarf because it’s a polar viper and its cold up there.

And here she is lifting off on her maiden voyage this afternoon on an AT H73 Black Jack. She went about 1,200 feet before coming back down safely.

I had new decals made. I scraped off the snake decal on the rear fin and added a new decal on the av bay. I think they turned out quite well and finish off the rocket.
