Looks like the same kit as Fox One released in 2020, previously covered here:

Same kit number, at least.

 

3D printed; nice, but eye-wateringly expensive.

Beware of this kit. I have the last issue from 2020. Locks like a nice kit and it is except for the canopy. The most unsuitable part I have ever seen in a kit.

it is an attempt at clear printing, But it is a complete failure. It is almost entirely opaque. Looks like the frosted glass sometimes used to admit light while providing complete privacy, rather more privacy than a pilot can use. It is not nearly as clear as the photo depicts it, as a matter of fact it can’t be called clear at all. A Mach 2 canopy is the very soul of crystal clear when compared to the FOX ONE item. I can understand failure when exploring new technologies. I can’t understand shipping those failures to paying customers. It wasn’t cheap either.
