The International Terrastar is one of the cool realistic models released by Matchbox in their mainline models. The metal part of the front has features similar to a real International truck like the downward-center sloping grille lines, lights, and bumper. The body has line shapes for compartments, doors, and a vent on the roof. Windows are present on the cab and passenger trailer of the truck. An ambulance warning light bar with the same color of the windows are on the roof of the cab. Paint designs mixed with white and gold cover the sides of the red body. It looks like an ambulance for a real hospital instead of one in the fictional world of Matchbox Originals.
The model was made as a plastic body and metal base. The interior is non-existent. I tried peeking under the front wheel wells to see if there is some detail inside, but there is none. The plastic body and blank interior are probably cost reduction measures Matchbox did for this model. With those cost reduction measures, the International Terrastar feels hollow if you hold it.
