I always like getting the Kanimbla out of Singapore as early as I can.....also thanks for spelling it right! KANIMBLA, not Kanimba as most mods have it.
Not bad looking for a troop transport.

Very nice m10bob. Here's how she looks in the game AMC on top, then LSI(L). Actually pic is of Manoora, but she was fairly close to Kanimbla; same pic for both.
