SPACE PATROL TANK SP45 - HOPE - JAPAN

Looking at this friction space tank you would have to say that Hope, a little known manufacturer, either didn't have a decent designer or they were trying to save on production costs. This is a very traditional army tank, metal turret, gun, army green etc. They have added the wording SPACE PATROL and S.P.45 but there the space theme ends. Friction action with siren.

The box art is much better, the artist has depicted an (inaccurate) blue tank travelling across a well drawn space landscape. SP-45 Date?
