The big head. 

A Finnish BT-42 in period correct markings (when swastikas were yet not ruined) as seen in Parola Museum. Captured Soviet BT-7 light tanks were turned into assault guns by mounting a new turrets with British 4,5″ howizers. This resulted in a fairly tall top heavy tank, which probably comes as a surprise to absolutely no-one.

An animation of the Finnish BT-42 with the historical markings. Saw this tank at Parola tank museum during the summer. The turret is even more massive in real life when you stand right next to it.

Also German friendly version of the BT-42 animation.
