Gents, Any difference between the US and the IDF version may I ask? Thanks in advance, Bill

I assume this is the AFV Club kit?

Doubt it considering the bad blood between those two. Interesting kit choice. Can a Leopard 2 in 1/35 be that far off now?

AFV Club's is the towed version.

Absolutely not. Not a single common part.

There seemed to be two versions of vehicle+launcher configuration. The one represented in Dragon kit actually carried the towed trailer with wheels and support legs removed. So theoretically one should be able to throw away the Dragon launcher parts and replace them with AFV Club modified trailer/launcher. I'm not sure how this version fired, as it is not possible to lower the blast shield with the trailer on a vehicle... Actually in above photos the vehicle does not have the blast shield at all... Could such vehicle fire the missiles at all in any other direction than forward? Maybe it is just a museum concoction, not a real thing?... The other variant had a completely different launcher configuration with distinctive large support (?) "wheels" added at the rear of the vehicle. For launch the launcher module was moved to the rear (what allowed for lowering the blast shield) and support wheels were lowered to the ground. I start to think that Dragon kit is a not-existing-in-reality mix of features of both variants...

Additional images The "box" is moved to the rear, overhanging the rear end of the load bed and allowing the shield to be raised into operating position. Transport configuration. The "box" is moved forward and tilted (to ride up over the stowed blast shield??) Israeli M727 in firing position: LINK I'll wait and hope that AFV-Club release a kit (they have the launcher and most of the carrier already ....) Youtube: LINK Shows the rear end without the "wheels" or was it reels for some type of cable? There are two "horns" on the tailgate which look like they were intended to rest on the ground and take some weight. Could this be the vehicle that Dragon has modelled? / Robin Edit: The other variant?

Yes, that seems to be the base for Dragon kit (although they added blast shields, not present on that real vehicle), but I think it is either a museum concoction or some other Israeli "home made" thing. Note that there is no mechanism whatsoever to move the trailer body - it is just dumped on the bed of the vehicle... I don't see how this could be used operationally.

Some prototype most likely.
