I found these photo of a Nagmashot with mine roller. But what is that large box on the back? Is that the CARPET System?

Indeed, it appears to be an engineering Nagmashot equipped with mine roller and Carpet system. Nice find Rebecca, didn't even know this application existed.

The box is indeed the Carpet system.

The mine roller must be a Nochri Gimel, definately not a Nochri Dalet.

That's ok, I'll try to find the kit for the mineroller and maybe build the tank sometime down the road or give it to one of our junior modelers in my AMPS Club. Thanks for the help!
