Torpedo campaign

I'm in with one from the list:

He-111H - Monogram/Revell 1/48
Tu-2S - Xuntong 1/48
 
My one track mind...

Yes you do...

Is that an Elco boat?

Yes, it is PT-196:

"PT-196, the last of the original contract boats, had a series of light grey stripes and a shark's face added to the original Measure 14, along with the nickname 'Elcopuss', upon completion. She reverted to a more normal Measure 31/5P in service."

So I'm guessing those smoke stack looking things are turret covers for the twin .50s, with them stowed upward?
 
If folks are still game for this campaign, how about a start date of June 1st, 2014 and it'll go for a year?
 
I still have an old plastic kit with these markings (since I built the resin kit for a collector):
