Classic Construction Models (CCM) in the US has introduced a 1:50 scale tapered jib assembly designed to fit its Manitowoc 555 die cast metal crane model.

This realistically detailed, 8 inch (200 mm) long jib is hand-crafted from brass and painted to match the original model.

The tapered jib assembly is supplied with kingpost and rigging and can be easily installed by pulling and replacing the two pins that hold the existing short jib assembly on the model.

The original whip line and headache ball and hook are used with the new jib and, when installed, give the model a very distinctive and custom look.
