One of the purchases came today for September.

Being, kind of, an optimist I just had to toss in a couple of 'I WANT' kits to cushion the paint order pieces. Anxious to try out the new (to me) Vallejo Premium Color line. Especially the gloss and matt varnish. The white I'm hoping is better than the Vallejo and Tamiya that I have been using; really difficult to get a coverage and not have to apply really thick. May be overkill, but I can use on my motorcycle helmets and surfboards as well!
From Vallejo web site:
Premium is a range of acrylic colors specifically designed for airbrushing and for optimum adherence on surfaces such as fiberglass, polyethylene, polycarbonate, metal and Lexan. Premium has been formulated with permanent pigments and a new, extremely resistant hybrid resin of acrylic-polyurethane. The Premium range contains matt and opaque, transparent, metallic, and fluorescent colors, and includes the specific varnishes and auxiliary products of the product line. Premium is especially recommended for painting motorcycle helmets, fuel tanks, surfboards and similar surfaces exposed to hard wear, and resists impacts and cracking as well as direct exposure to heat. The Premium colors resist fuel residue proof (as used in RC) of up to at least 35% Nitro. It is recommended to apply Premium in successive layers on previously primed surfaces. A few hours after application, the Premium colors will form a homogenous film of extraordinary strength and resistance. The recommended compressor settings are around 15-20 PSI, o 0.5 to 1 kg. For a final, especially resistant protection, a final (2K) urethane varnish is recommended (applied by aerosol or airbrush). Painting tools can be cleaned with water.
Safety: Premium Color is not flammable, and does not contain solvents. Please see also certified safety information of the product on the Safety page.
Packaging: Available in flip-top bottles of 60 ml/2.02 fl oz and 200 ml/6.76 fl oz.

Me too! I had much more fun playing with the D. VIIs and SPADs then actually playing the game.
You definitely had the game. D. VIIs are included not Albatrosses as the cover would have you believe.
Looks like it took some damage leaving Ukraine!
I hear the Anigrand kit is better(?), but it was a gift and I am grateful.

I love Vallejo. I finally received my much wanted kit from Japan!! The Doyusha Akagi A6M2 fighter deck scramble. It has six fighters (2 motorized), crew deck figures, pilots and the flight deck. All have been pre-painted, it just needs assembly.
I found a acrylic case that will fit over it once it's assembled. Seller from Japan had it here in six days.

I have some of those as well. They usually come pre-built. And pre-painted! You just have to assemble!

Tamiya did a 1:100 B-52D, I might be able to work that

Yep Jesse, these were prepainted on the sprues, just needed assembling as per usual. The deck set you got is on my 'to get' list too
