Regarding a soft top, I don't think the standard US soft top will work, but the Israelis used a "bikini" type top with this setup. Do a search of "Israel" and "Hamer". Try this link, http://www.hmmwvinscale.com/israelihamervariants.htm
What is pictured is the Lightweight Weapons Station with the addition of MSG rear bars. You can find most parts to the kit, but the H-frame turret support is nearly impossible to find. This setup is/was mostly used by Israeli, Canadian and Greek special forces.
I kinda got that vibe at the last one in Cleveland. Seems that the emphasis was on the WWII stuff (understandably), especially the jeeps. If they don't embrace the younger guys and their current conflict stuff, the hobby dies.
My understanding is that the MAK kits were designed and built by, and at, the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany GA. No NSN or outside manufacturing.
