30b Four different Colour Jibs on this model.

That is a superb line up of cranes and the four colours of the jibs show very clearly on my VAIO screen.

Great line ups! Thank you for sharing.
It looks like the hook and jib painted together on the early ones and the later hooks are all silver.
Did I get the time line right?

You right Kurt, on the early models (both tan variations and the early silver models) the hook and jib were painted together. There is, I think, only one variation of the painted hook and jib on the silver model: thin hook with biff rivet. Or has anyone spotted another variations - painted dome head pin with painted thin or thick metal hook, or painted biff rivet with painted thick metal hook ?

Just to remember, there is one unlisted variation: jib with a step at the rear and thick brace on the round cross bar.
