Here are a lot of useful links, and one of them is about making palm trees.

I haven't tried it myself, nor have I read how to make it.

I think there was an articale in FSM where somebody buit a dio and told how they made palms.  It was the one from the Soccar War. Anybody got that issue around?  Mine are at home.

I am planning on building a diorama of an F4U on an island base in the pacific. Just one problem: I can't find palm trees! does anyone know who makes good ones, or have a scratchbuilding technique?

Hasegawa 1:48 KI-84

Tamiya 1:48 P-51D (in Iwo Jima long-range escort markings)

4 (yes, four) Tamiya 1:48 F4U-1s (1x -1D, 1x -1A, and 2x -1s)
