Weathering is subjective with WW1 subjects.
Castor oil staining and a bit of mud/grass on wheels.
Use common sense and as many "real" and original photos as possible for reference. Don't rely on artwork/drawing etc, that leads to the darkside. Oops got carried away there. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...the_ground.jpg
Weathering on WW1 planes is very subtle generally.
Fabric patches were prominent on WW.1 aircraft,in the field they just kept them flying.
A buff colour simulates the clear but stained fabric used back then,the castor oil would soften the paint,and laced up fuselage fabric was common,complete with the wrinkles !

Like your signature, Wonwinglo, the full quote, in best RAF lineshooting style is...
"There I was, upside down, with nothing on the clock but the makers name, and THAT in Hindustani!"
Or the other one goes like this-
'There I was upside down,clinging to a lump of rubber in the ocean bobbing up and down, and it said emergency inflation on other side' !!
