The dirty part i can't comment on. In the photo all i see is a bit of cardboard
dust which is perfectly normal on parts that come loose in a set. You just blow
it away. I have never seen a 'dirty' part in all my years using Lego.
Though you never know.
The scuff marks on the aircraft fuselage, whilst i can't see them in the
photo, are normal too. Black is the one of the worst offenders, and black parts
with large smooth areas even worse again. Between manufacturing, processing
and packaging, parts are constantly banging together causing this. I have had
to sell many a black part from a new set as a used part due to scuff marks and
scratches.
Whether it is acceptable or not is up to the individual. Lots of pros and
cons on both sides. Whilst i don't want to have scuff marks or scratches
on a windshield of a $500 set (which Lego has been trying to rectify to their
credit), a few scuff marks on a set like you have, which is a $20 set, well it
happens. The added costs to stop this happening would not be viable.

| | It is very difficult to track this guy down! Absolute gem of my collection is
the 1978 621 LEGO police car! it's complete and in near perfect condition
the whites are still pearly glass is still mostly clear, and the grays are not
yellowed, the stickers have seen better days, but the police man is superb. it
still has all it's instructions! this is also a special set since it was
one of the first lego sets to feature the modern day minifigure. It costed me
50-60 dollars to obtain. the only downside is that the 1x1 siren piece probably
isn't era accurate since it doesn't have a stopper at the end of the
stud. I also have a galaxy explorer and the 585 police station. post your gems
bellow!

It’s a three way tie between
Sadly I don’t have any of the instructions. 1888-1 is missing 1-3 parts but still
mostly there. Also any of these minifigures.

nice!
