my brain seems to be stuck. But could you all tell me what some good soft skinned 1/35 vehicles would be that I could do?
The country of them wouldnt matter at all.
something that has decent fit and all that.

I have a question for you… isn’t part of the fun of modelling trying to figure out what to build? I mean for me it’s not mindlessly trying to get people to tell me what to build, but to research, look at what I think is cool (which makes me spend hours in the LHS). Why not try looking around, do some research and then ask if the kit is good or not? Or have I missed the ball on this and that is what you were doing initially?
If your brain is stuck, go browse the shelves of your local hobby shop. Semi recently, I was in the mood for a change of pace so I wander through my LHS ann settled on Tamiya’s Daimler Scout Car for no reason other than it seemed like an amusing diversion not to mention it was under ten bucks. By the way, I don’t know if you consider an armored car soft skinned, but the Daimler makes for a fun build, is reasonably accurate, and capable of being further detailed.

Yeah, you missed it just a little. Ive been modeling over 35 years now and, like I mentioned, my brain is now stuck and confused on what to build, LOL
Any of the recent DML 251 kits. Or try to rework the Tamiya US halftracks into something decent.
Tamiyas SDFKZ 222 is a nice armored car to build. The latest release comes with an aluminum barrel! Greg.
