There were 4 Army B-26 aircraft quickly modified to carry Navy Mk13 torpedos at the start of the Battle of Midway. Two made through the Japanese defenses, none scored a hit.

You can be sure that these quick modifications didn't look "pretty"...

Second picture is a close up of a modification that was done.
