Mike you are correct. To quote the site "The turret is from a 1/48th 
scale Israeli Merkava, imported by Hobby Bounties, with a barrel and 
secondary armament from the Marbeth catalogue, and a scratch built 
bustle. The hull is a 1/35th scale Soviet BMP by Dragon, with more 
accessories by Marbeth and GZG."
