A shame, but I just grabbed a photo off Google anyways. If you're curious, you can find plenty of them with a quick search, but it's basically a tiny two-man tank about the size of a modern SUV at most.

What you see in the photo is the remains of the tank chassis, with a machine mounted roughly in the middle and the open driver's hatch next to it. Above that should be a turret, but that's clearly missing and the engine in the back looks like it was crushed by something.
