Simulating Piston Engine Exhaust Stains

Folks,
How do you simulate the exhaust stains of piston engines? I tried today to dry-brush it (my first attempt at any kind of weathering), and it came out looking like crap. The kit is the 1/48th AMT Grumman F7F-3N Tigercat, and all of my references show heavy exhaust stains all over the engine nacelles. I thought that I'd try to simulate that, but soon discovered that I was in WAAAYYY over my head. I guess that I'll make this my new experiment-with-new-techniques model. Anyway, is airbrushing the way to go with this, or did I just dry-brush it incorrectly?
