Eduard 648232 TER 1/48 is a high-quality modeling accessory designed for demanding aircraft modelers in 1:48 scale. The set represents the TER (Triple Ejector Rack), a triple release rack widely used by the United States Air Force and its allies from the mid-1960s to the present day. This product is intended to complement scale aircraft models such as the F-4 Phantom II, F-105 Thunderchief, F-111 Aardvark, A-7 Corsair II, F-16 Fighting Falcon, or F/A-18 Hornet, all of which were equipped with such weapon pylons both during the Vietnam War and in conflicts such as Operation Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, and other modern NATO missions.

The TER (Triple Ejector Rack) allowed for carrying three bombs or other stores under each pylon of the aircraft, significantly increasing the combat capabilities of these machines by optimizing the amount of carried armament. The use of this rack was extensive—ranging from classic bombs to rocket pods or Mk.82-type bombs. Thanks to this solution, pilots could complete more combat missions without having to frequently return to base to reload.
