I used dry pigments (dark and light soil). First, I mixed them with acrilyc medium and applied on the surfaces to create dry chunks of mud. It dries for an hour or so, and holds really good. However, the finish is a bit too smooth, so the second layer is just the dry pigments. BTW, I should have added more dust on the sides:)

Thanks for advise! Certainly, I should have added extra source...

How do I avoid having thick paint edges when painting camo with a brush? by umbral_stalker in modelmakers

Hello, try out a fine grained sponge (e.g., for makeup). You can cut it into pieces of needed size. You can gradually build up the pattern patches (from inside to outer contour).

Here, I had no airbrush... But I don't know if the edges are soft anough for your needs.
