Oh heck if you'll allow a Boxer and Stryker...I think I'll take a swing with a Trumpy Lav-25....or the Vodnik. I'll decide on one of the two when this kicks off.

Will the BTR-40(Trumpeter 05517) qualify for this campaign.
I'm asking, because it is the early one-without roof.
No drama if it won't-I still have the Meng GAZ Tigr waiting.

I think the intention was closed vehicles but I hope the campaign leader will answer.
Someone is doing an M8 which has an open roof to the turret, not a huge hole but still a permanent opening ...

As I’m the guy who wante to build an M8, I’d sure like a ruling.... when I saw no open tops I interpreted that to mean things like the M3, but I’m now not so sure....
UPDATE: just reread the rules snd the rule states “No softtops“ nothing about “opentops”. My take is the M8 and others like it normally classified as an armored car should be in, but I’ll await a ruling.

Misquoting Clayton from page 2:
I'm still assuming that an M8 is legit, otherwise I may have to go stash diving for an LAV I think I have somewhere.

Gabriel- That car is so cool! Check out https://lots-of-models.com/collections/bison-decals/products/bison-decals-1-35-polizei-2-wwii-german-police-units-adgz-35211?variant=37537406606 for your decals
Bob- Good you caught that, looking forward to your car!
Linus- Gotta have a Skoda!

I would happily include the M3 as well but since I'm not making the rules around here .....

Everyone, here is the kit I would like to enter into the build. Tamiya Kit 35286, Sd.Kfz.222 Leichter PanzerSpaH 4/4. I just noticed that the roof hatches are mesh wire. Does this make it fall into the soft-top catagory, or is this acceptable?
If not I have a Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma I could build.

I started on the BA3 and it is so simple that the construction is going fast, until I came to the transfer case. Parts D49 and D50 are missing from the kit. Guess I will need to scratch a transfer case.

All painted, first future coat, and yesterday decals applied and Micro Sol has them a little misshapen. Today I tested my ability to do an oil pin wash on the turret.

@Bob, I hate you! 
You're already adding weathering, and I haven't even pulled mine out of the box... 
Looking good though.

A thousand apologies, I have been way under the weather for a week plus, sorry!
Open top is FINE,M8, M3, BTR as well. Sort of "Any wheeled vehicle that is not a truck or a jeep"...
Bob- I can't think as fast as you can build anymore.....

Gabriel, I am retired and have nothing better to do than sit and build.
Clayton, I also am under the weather and have not slept for two nights. Go to see the Doctor tomorrow to get that shot with the square needle.
I guess I will now be able to build my M3 also.

Some in-progress shots of the BTR-40 I am building:
Some tiny bits were added to the engine to make it look more like GAZ-40.
Rear wall will be mounted once interior is painted.
Left side is attached only in the rear,so I can remove the entire drivetrain for painting.
More to follow soon,
