Tamiya Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 Betty 1:48 Model Kit 61049: Build, Paint & Assembly Guide
This page is devoted to Tamiya Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 Betty 1:48 Model Kit 61049, the exact aircraft model kits sold under the Tamiya record. The goal is practical identification: what the listing confirms, what remains unverified, and what a buyer or builder should compare before using the item.
The record that separates this item
- Exact product: Tamiya Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 Betty 1:48 Model Kit 61049
- Brand or vendor: Tamiya
- Product type: Aircraft Model Kits
- SKU or catalog key: TAM61049
- Scale stated in the record: 1:48

The recorded price at verification was $93.00 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.
A correct match requires more than recognizing the brand. The scale marker 1:48 is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The item number TAM61049 provides the most efficient cross-check when another listing uses slightly different punctuation or wording.
Evidence taken from the live record
The live record provides the following product-specific information: “Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 Betty in 1/48 Scale The G4M1 Model 11 kit reproduces the bomber’s broad, rounded fuselage and offers access-position choices around the aircraft.

What matters for this kind of product
Tamiya Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 Betty 1:48 Model Kit 61049 should be planned as a sequence rather than a single purchase. Inventory the parts or sheets, review the instructions, identify surfaces that require cleanup, and decide when paint, decals or clear finish belong in the build. Item number TAM61049 keeps this plan tied to the exact product instead of a neighboring release.
Do not infer included paint, cement, batteries or tools unless the listing or package states that they are supplied. A complete shopping plan distinguishes kit contents from builder-supplied materials.
Using the item with confidence
Use the product image to compare box art, label, part arrangement and any visible instruction callouts. When the item arrives, inventory it before separating pieces from runners or backing sheets. Once parts are cut or decals are soaked, missing-content questions become harder to resolve.
A short build log—date, materials, colors and fit notes—adds lasting value to the product record.
Image-by-image verification
Review all 3 available images in sequence rather than judging the item from the first thumbnail. Front, side, reverse, package and detail views answer different questions. The record is strongest when those views agree with the title and item number TAM61049.
Pre-purchase checklist for this exact record
- Match the full title and TAM61049.
- Confirm the selected variant and displayed quantity.
- Review the exact image set for the distinguishing details named above.
- Resolve every missing fit, scale, material or compatibility point from current instructions.
- Check live price and availability immediately before ordering.

The collection record worth keeping
The permanent record should answer three questions: what exact item was bought, what arrived, and how it was used or stored. The title and TAM61049 answer the first; arrival photographs answer the second; project or collection notes answer the third.
Keeping those layers separate improves future comparisons and avoids unsupported grading.
Gift considerations
The exact title makes this a specific rather than universal gift. Confirm that the recipient wants this release, quantity and format; a closely related item may not be interchangeable.
What buyers commonly need to confirm
Why does Tamiya Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 Betty 1:48 Model Kit 61049 have its own guide?

Is a contextual image a contents list?
No. Only stated components and the selected variant define what is included.
How can a later owner verify the item?
They can compare the title, item number TAM61049, package or item photographs and saved transaction record.
Decision summary: choose Tamiya Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 Betty 1:48 Model Kit 61049 when the complete identity, photographed details and intended use all match. The live page should settle current price and availability; this guide preserves the evidence needed to recognize the exact item.

Verification worksheet for this listing
Use TAM61049 as the checkpoint for Tamiya Mitsubishi G4M1 Model 11 Betty 1:48 Model Kit 61049. Confirm the vendor name Tamiya, the product type Aircraft Model Kits, the selected variant and the photographed item before checkout. If a required size, scale, material, interface or included component is absent from the live record, write it down as unresolved and obtain the answer from the current instructions or manufacturer source.
After delivery, add a dated photograph and a brief result note. A builder can record fit, materials and finishing choices; a collector can record package and item condition; a user can record compatibility and care. Those details make the record genuinely product-specific while preventing a later observation from being confused with a factory specification.
