Eduard Leaves Palm II, 1/35-scale photo-etch, (item 35616)

by Frank De Sisto

This set provides for a total of eight branches. The larger branches are approximately 3.25-inches long, while the smaller are approximately 2.25-inches long. This makes them suitable for large trees in 1/35th-scale, but they should be combined with the smaller branches from Eduard’s previous Palm Leaves set for a more realistic look. The branches themselves come in two different styles. One style is tapered to a point, while the other is oblong (wider in the middle) with a large central vein.

These sets are relatively expensive if one is using them to model trees, but if the modeler simply needs a few branches for a diorama or vignette effect, then these sets are more cost effective.

Recommended with reservations.
