"You are (almost) correct! It's a Fokker D.VIII monoplane." My eyes are dim, my back is grey etc! Of course it is - I made a model of it about forty years ago and obviously a 1/32 scale Fokker DRI too, painted red with a white nacelle. My parents were stationed in West Germany for about 10 years on and off. The world was quite odd in the 1980s as it is now. Now as to scaling currencies. I'm a bit ambivalent here. I think a rule of thumb might be better than nothing so 4DM == £1! No, as you say it is too volatile for that. I can remember the days when there were at least two USD to the GBP and the Euro wasn't invented. The NLG (Dutch Guilder) was roughly like a DM (Deutsche Mark) but not quite: the Dutch currency was extremely colourful and way prettier than other currencies. France had their Franc - 10 to the quid (GBP) which was easy to convert, and so on. If I want to scale your currency to mine or another then I think that is my problem, now I've had a think about it.
