Torpedo campaign

[dewertus]

I'm in with one from the list:

SM.79 II - Trumpeter 1/48
He-111H - Monogram/Revell 1/48
Tu-2S - Xuntong 1/48

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?

Shalom.

And Italeri now has the early PT-103 Class 80' Elco boat kit out as PT-109 which has the torpedo tubes you need.

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):

I'm all kinds of over committed! But I have a year so I'm in!

I see 9 votes, generally need 10, let's get a couple more votes in. I already got an idea for the Campaign ribbon.

Yep, I see nine aswell. Still happy to build my SM79 for this Campaign.
