Quite true!. As a kid i had the chance to see shining new light tanks and vehicles just arrived, and six months laters they look like they were used for years.
Consideraing that lots of german planes, if not the majority, most likely were used on the Battle of France campaign, and probably also in Polonia campaign, i would bet that most of tha aircraft would look very worn. The same with hurricanes. Spitfires might be an exception that there were more new units, but after a month of use, on combat conditions, the "new look" would be long gone.
