Hello
I just found a model of ATMP mkIII in 1/35 wcale. I know that vehicle have been used in Astan by British troops. Can I add some extras like grenade launchers or machine gun on the back to make a version espetially for Astan ?
Thanks You for help

According this article, the ATMP was withdrawn in 2009 (Herrick 10), and replaced by the Springer.

I stand corrected:
The ATMP vehicle came into service in December 1999 and deployed with 16 Air Assault Brigade. It was used for re-supply, casualty evacuation, radio rebroadcast and refuelling because it could carry a single NATO standard pallet, ammunition, anti-tank mines and other bulky or heavy stores. Originally 65 ATMPs were procured, and over the lifetime of the ATMP capability, additional vehicles were purchased but details on the final number are no longer held. The ATMP was deployed to Afghanistan, but was withdrawn from theatre and was declared out of service in November 2010.
