AT-P Tractor,does anyone have any information regarding this little vehicle? Google is not very helpful at all I can only find images of preserved machines or wreck's

I was curious about it too after I saw the new Trumpeter kit. The only information I found was on the trumpeter website, but I imagine you already read the description that they provided.

The only other thing I found was on the wiki page for the MT-LB tractor, which was the replacement for the AT-P. Apparently the AT-p was based on the ASU-57.

There's a short article in Russian on Wikipedia :

and a longer one (in Russian too), about some AT-P derivatives on Topwar.ru :

Thank you for your help guys, this little machine is very elusive but also very interesting. I have noticed several variations of the vehicle,the triangular bins on the mud guards vary and some machines have a more substantial rear end below the rear doors but how this relates is not clear.
