SPACE TANK BY-352 - YOSHIYA? - JAPAN

The blue tinplate friction space tank is covered with masses of lithographed detail including tracks. There's a clear plastic dome at the front with a green tin astronaut inside. There's an unusual feature at the back: three red plastic strips extend backward from three round spark windows. The serial number on this tank, BY-352, is also odd. This looks like a Yoshiya tank. Box? Better photo? Date?
