My thoughts exactly Kit

That's a nice kit! At least you didn't get the one with an interior.

Many modern Russian tank kits have working suspensions. The Rye Field T-55A has one and it was easy to build. They simplify getting all the wheels on the ground.

Looking at that hull reminds me of the Renault 16 car, which also had torsion bar suspension.

On the tank the wheels on one side must be slightly offset to the wheels on the other side, but you won't notice it very much. The Renault 16 has a longer wheelbase on one side, the left IIRC, than on the other. It didn't affect the handling at all, or I couldn't detect any differences anyway, but the body work is different on each side.

The Panhard VBL armored car has a similar suspension.

Small update,
I tried something out.
The whole thing is supposed to take place in front of a former barracks or something.
Between the concrete slabs and the street panels there is a small fence, wall and the clock on the side.
The garbage cans are at the back and there is also a larger concrete wall.
So first the rough idea.
