[REVIEW] Tomica Tyrrell P-34 Ford

I don't actively collect F1 cars of any era, but this vintage casting is cool enough for a review. Here we have the Tomica Tyrrell P-34 Ford, a 1:52 scale model of the famous 6-wheeled racer, introduced to the range in 1977:

As typical for the brand, it is well made and well done:

Nice tampos, chrome engine seems questionable, but it is a toy car after all:

This seems smaller than the casting size indicates, but these weren't exactly huge cars in real life. I have a few other similar era Tomica F1 cars that might end up in a review some time. This one seemed the most interesting.
