Das Werk DW35033 Personenwagen Cid-27 "Donnerbüchse" 1/35

Das Werk DW35033 Personenwagen Cid-27 „Donnerbüchse” is an extremely detailed plastic model of a passenger car in 1/35 scale, perfect for demanding modelers and railway history enthusiasts. The model represents the classic two-axle steel vehicle produced for Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1927–1928, widely used throughout Germany in the interwar period and during World War II. The famous nickname “Donnerbüchse” (Thunderbox) refers to the characteristic, loud sound the vehicle produced as a result of insufficient sound insulation. These wagons served both local and long-distance lines across Europe, often forming part of military and civilian transport during the turbulent 20th century.

This Das Werk product has been designed for modelers seeking the highest level of realism. The model is made from high-quality plastic, and the kit also includes intricate photo-etched parts, clear windows, 3D details, and metal extras, such as realistic undercarriage components and connectors. A huge advantage of the DW35033 model is the ability to faithfully recreate the full interior of the wagon—including details of benches, partitions, lighting, and doors. The kit comes with tracks and sleepers about 36 cm long, creating a realistic base for display or a diorama. The user also receives options for assembling the doors and windows in various positions, providing arrangement flexibility for personal diorama or railway display concepts.
