    Description

    Rasalto "Small" main circus tent is not so small.  High-quality kit builds a substantial 15" high tent which occupies a space of almost 40" x 40".  Tent has a zippered panel to facilitate access to the inside area.  I started to build this model at one time but I never went beyond the "preliminary" stage.  All the parts are present and in nr-perfect condition.
    NOTE:
    In the main photo displayed, the blue and red tent in the front of the picture is this set / kit.
    Bonus gift:
    Rasalto set # 0782 (new and sealed), a string of electric lights for the center pole, is included at no extra cost.
    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...
