That is very very true, espeacially at AFV models. Some people say that when you build a tank as an example, you can get it really wrong, and you can still make it look acurrate. The heavy weathering might mask many mistakes, but that isn't a reason to make it look more "dirty".

To get the correct amount of wear and /or damage in the correct places so as to make the model look “real” is a work of art in itself. Some scratches and dents can be left; others can’t and have to be repaired

I also agree with this. At a World War I plane there is a lot of friction. For an acurrate plane you surely have to work a lot at weathering. Some people like their models to be "clean"... it's ok, but they have nothing special, unique, and that's the part where you show your skill.
Great job! I admire your work.
