Tamiya Fairey Swordfish Mk.II 1:48 Model Kit 61099: Build, Paint & Assembly Guide

Tamiya Fairey Swordfish Mk.II 1:48 Model Kit 61099 is the specific aircraft model kits represented by this listing from Tamiya. This guide interprets the exact record—its title, SKU, photographed item, variant state and catalog context—rather than stretching a generic category article over the product.

How this release is identified

• Exact product: Tamiya Fairey Swordfish Mk.II 1:48 Model Kit 61099
• Brand or vendor: Tamiya
• Product type: Aircraft Model Kits
• SKU or catalog key: TAM61099
• Scale stated in the record: 1:48

The recorded price at verification was $100.00 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 SKU TAM61099 provides the most efficient cross-check when another listing uses slightly different punctuation or wording.

The verified description in context

The source description says: “Fairey Swordfish Mk.II in 1/48 Scale Build the anti-submarine Swordfish Mk.II with its metal lower wings, enlarged oil cooler and radar antennas. The wings can be assembled folded for a compact carrier-deck display.

Missing dimensions, materials, compatibility claims or package contents remain open questions.

The category-specific decision

Tamiya Fairey Swordfish Mk.II 1:48 Model Kit 61099 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. SKU TAM61099 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

Compatibility is often more important than brand familiarity. Styrene cement, cyanoacrylate, water-based paint, solvent paint and clear coats behave differently on different materials. Use the exact product instructions and a test piece whenever the material is not confirmed.

Record substitutions as part of the build log. That makes later repairs or a second build reproducible without misrepresenting the original package contents.

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 SKU TAM61099.

The short decision checklist

• Use the complete name, not a shortened marketplace label.
• Use TAM61099 to prevent a near-match substitution.
• Read the variant and inventory state shown now.
• Confirm technical requirements from the current manufacturer source.
• Keep the receipt and one reference image with the product record.

The collection record worth keeping

A useful record for Tamiya Fairey Swordfish Mk.II 1:48 Model Kit 61099 includes the original URL, SKU TAM61099, package or item photographs, option selected and any instructions.

Gift considerations

As a gift, Tamiya Fairey Swordfish Mk.II 1:48 Model Kit 61099 is strongest when the recipient already uses this scale, format, subject or product family. Check for duplicates and fit-sensitive details before choosing it solely from the brand name.

Product-specific questions

Can a similar title be treated as the same release?

Not without matching TAM61099 and the images. Similar subjects can differ by scale, finish, road number, quantity, interface or packaging.

Does the article guarantee every specification?

No. It distinguishes confirmed listing facts from checks that still need current source documentation.

What should be saved after purchase?

Keep the receipt, exact URL, SKU, selected option and at least one arrival photograph.

Use this record as an identity guide: it explains what is known about Tamiya Fairey Swordfish Mk.II 1:48 Model Kit 61099 and where verification still belongs. That is more reliable than treating a nearby model, size or package as interchangeable.

Completing the evidence trail

To close the record for Tamiya Fairey Swordfish Mk.II 1:48 Model Kit 61099, pair SKU TAM61099 with the live image and the stated vendor, Tamiya. The listing classifies it as Aircraft Model Kits. Those details should agree before another product is treated as an equivalent option. Any unstated dimension, material, quantity or compatibility point remains a question rather than a fact.

Keep a dated arrival image and record how the item was stored, displayed, installed or used. If the product is altered, preserve a description of the starting state and the changes made. This exact-item history supports future maintenance, collection audits and repeat purchases while keeping observations separate from the manufacturer or seller’s original claims.
