WACO ZPF

First off let me say thank you to Tim Conrad!
A while ago I asked for a Great Lakes 2T-1A and it was delivered. I am thrilled with that and all the folks at WACO Classic were tickled to see it as well.

Now I have another request from the WACO Classic facebook group: a WACO ZPF.

The ZPF-7 is more or less a UPF-7 with a bigger Jacobs engine and commonly an enclosed canopy over the rear cockpit.
A sim ZPF has been asked to be numerous times over the summer as I am more or less the 'flight sim guy' over there. Thus I would love to see this come through. In the facebook group there are several folks who have access to ZPFs so if pictures are desired by the modeler I can ask for them.

A heads up if one does some research on what each letter in the ZPF designation means: good luck. Some say the 'Z' means a Jacobs, but the YMF has a Jacobs and it has a 'Y'...frankly I think Mr. Weaver (as in Weaver Aircraft CO) was just bored one day and assigned letters at random  ;D
