it looks like an converted merkava kit... but what it is or if it exsist I don't know..

Actually it looks like somebodys SCi Fi project. It looks more like some suped up and Legnthened M1 abrams with M9 dozer and CEV housing with crane on right fender

Looks cool. Defintiely not based on an M1 and besides the blade, I don't see any evidence of CEV lineage either. It looks more like an engineer vehicle than a recovery vehicle, I wonder if that crane is actually a shovel arm. Cool looking project though.

I take it the tractor trailer is a super customized dragon wagon or is there a kit of that beast as well, If it is real, I have never seen anything like it.

Blaster, the transporter could be the German Faun "Elefant", probably from the Accurate Armour kit.

well lets see the truck is a Hemmit probly the cargo version the trailer I'm not totaly sure of but I have seen something close to this tractor trailer set up here on Hood before but over at the Engineers side of Cav land . the tank I'd say looks like a Merk for the rest I couldn't imagine but I'd sure like to know

That truck definitely looks American issue. The track looks like some kind of engineering or maybe a demolitions vehicle. I'm basing this on the crane on the right rear corner....actually it looks more like a backhoe arm with a telecoping section at the end. Very interesting.

I can't get the image, link is dead to me.

I went to the site, and did a search for models by the guy, found the picture, clicked on the thumbnail, and STILL got told "Track-Link does not allow direct linking to images"

Talk about your Kit Bash.
That does look like its based on a merkava.
Front drive wheels, wavy wheel skirts. The front looks like the same slope and front engine configuration as a merkava. The grill on the front left looks just like one.
The merkava only has 6 road wheels... I guess this is what comes out when you mix a merkava and an M88?

Hehe thats what I was gonna say Scott.Just looks like someone wanted to know what a kitbash of those two would look like.

Here is the link for those cant get it.What is it?

The trractor looks like a hemmit-themed design and the merkava looking engineering/recovery version makes me think this is a 'what if' sort of project.
I'm very impressed with the continuity of both the hemmit and merkava, although not too sure about putting them together...
still very nice work.

Any one know what show that was from?

Hit control+F5 after going to that site. It will reload the picture. Then will you come back to this thread, the photo will appear in my initial post as well.

well it's from the Telford Scalemodelworld contest 2002.
It is indeed based on a merkava, Israel also uses hemmits trucks but not this one ,
looking at the orange flag and the V's it could be an israeli subject.
Still I think it is a "What if" model
