You definitely can, between the wheels, if looking closely.

Perhaps you can add some plastic strip?

It is possible to add plastic strips, however that would require cutting out the leaf springs. Quite a bit of effort for that one I'd say, but not something I would shy away. In the end, Takom could have just molded that accurately and it won't need any modification.

I hear you. But we can say that about many kits. My question is do we throw the baby out with the bath water? I mean is the kit good elsewhere - is it worth building?
I bought the early version based on your observations- that the leave spring was equal on all 4. Takom messed up by making every version a command vehicle without adding a star antenna - however - the kit can be built without the extra radios - just need to scratch some stowage bins.

Then they bring out a command version! To make up for the mistake! I bought it but realised it is an early - just with a star antenna!

What I mean by add strip is to cut away either top or bottom part B13 and add length of plastic strip - then fix cut part back on. It looks feasible.

Anyway - this year I keep practicing so I will soon put up 3 kits - one AZ 1/72 kit and 2 armour: Tristar and an old Tamiya from 1970s! I invite you to watch and comment 🫡 👍
