Technically not an acquisition, but a commission for one of my Railway Clients - a rather big ship, 1/72nd Scale Flower Class Corvette arrived and a freebie for my stash a very old Airfix Short Stirling he's given me - the box is a bit battered but the contents are still sealed..
.. may well do a captured colour & decal scheme on it..

Other acquisitions have been, new bottles of Micro Sol & Micro Set, more upgrades for the Challenger 2 (wheels and suspension) and couple Pilot fine silver & gold paint pens.
Speaking of the Challenger 2, what's the Humbrol colour number for the Desert Sand?
i think 56 rings a bell

My latest acquistion - Heng Long 1/16th RC Challenger 2 Tank - some minor assembly required!

i use a mix. for some models i use acrylics (most matt models and some figures) and enamels for others. i was doing a figure the otherday and i used a mix on the person. i find pots of enamels tend to last longer e.g. i have had a 14ml pot of 19 red for therly 6 years now and it is just entering the to replace farily soon stage.
so the chioce is up to you and what your preferencis are. i tend to use actylics becuse you can wash theh brushes in water.
each paint in my opinionn have there ups and downs so its up to the modeler
