I have an Eduard Fokker E.IV kit that I would like to build as an Immelmann mount, but I have found surprisingly little information. Does any kind soul have some info? There is a different kit available of a supposed three gun mount for Immelman, but this may be based on hot air.
Thanks for any help

Stephen is right, the 3 gun E.IV was an experimental and has some differences beside the 3 guns 
The shape of the engine cooling mantle is different and there were no cooling holes. There are other small differences, but I have no access to my notes from the time I was intrested in this type too.
ICM offers the 3 gun version but with the engine cooling from the series. Together with the Part etched parts it should be possible to build preatty nice 3 gunned model.
