Late war "C N X" kits

  All indications point that the "C N X" marked kits were assembled by G Appel in 1945, using cases supplied by the Mundlos company and appears that also from the Hawig firm. All the "C N X" cases observed have the reinforcing lateral rib, normally found only before on Mundlos and Hawig kits, and in many of them finds also the Waffenamt WaA20. The Mundlos factory was destroyed by an air attack at January 1945, ceased to producing the Rg 34 (no "ab 45" kit has surfaced until today) and most likely that passed the finished leftover boxes to G. Appel to complete. Respect to the use also of Hawig cases more research is needed.
  With regard to the use of the productor code in capital letters instead of lowercase, this change do not appears to be a late war code change because only was used on these different kits and maybe was a way to differentiate these kits from the normal production or were assembled in another production facility. Also, more research is needed.
  Respect to the parts of the kit, all kits observed have typical late war contents like phenolic oilers and also simplified steel chains.
