I like these but feel like the dirt looks a bit over done, makes it look like its grainy and 'noisy" ? 

 

Clean looks fab though! ?

it is the image compression, the skin is 4K

 

click on the image and you can zoom to real size, in game you have to zoom in to see it, the effect is the overall one from a normal viewing distance.

 

as for the weathering, you have oil stains, grime and in the panels that get removed for maintenance, the paint peels off a bit, I leave the peeling off to a minimum otherwise it would be more extensive, also engine exhaust is one you would expect from a well maintained fighter that gets some attention between flights and oil spill is minimal as that was a fire hazard that the ground crew cleaned often

 

it looks much worse in real life - where the paint peels off in chucks exposing (yellow) primer and aluminum, most of them had short careers so the paint did not deteriorate that much , but, the paint being what it was lost color tone real fast as they were constantly under the Sun.
