Just a note:
They were not by Kress.
They were by Midwest, with the Midwest logo top right corner.
If memory serves me, I believe there was also the name of a modeller on the assembly instructions.
The product name was actually -
Axiflo
There were two sizes, Axiflo RK-20, and the Axiflow RK-40
I believe sometime later, Midwest sold out the Axiflo line to Kress. Kress discontinued the thick card material that was used for the outer shell, replacing it with some type of polycarbonate material.
Kress kept the orignal Midwest Axiflow fan impellers in stock for a long time, and used them with his own polycarbonate outer shell.
The last I recall Kress was also selling out, and Kress-jets.com doesn't even come up anymore.
= - Last entry on the Kress web site -
Kress Jets company is for sale.

Actually, Kress designed the Axiflow for Midwest, so in one sense, they were all Kress fans.
