Description
Large main circus tent model with 4 wood baseplates which form a 32" x 32" square with pre-drilled holes for posts to support the structure. High quality wood parts. Zippered panel to access interior after assembly. This is not made by Rasalto, but the design is very similar and compatible, although the color scheme is different.Rasalto produced a series of elaborate circus-themed large scale kits in Germany in the late 1970's -- including a very large main tent, some smaller tents, and various transportation items -- wagons, containers, cages, and at least one platform railway car, lighting, etc. These are very high quality beautiful kits, mostly wood parts, with some metal and plastic pieces as needed. The designer was Dr. Peter J. Pape, an engineer from Erlangen (in Bavaria, just north of Nuremberg).
There do not seem to be many of these kits still around, new or used...
