The clear parts are quite dark in color, so you can't really see through to the inner frame.

Together with the original MG Zaku II F2 Zeon type.

This kit is the MG Zaku II F2 Blue Clear Color Version, distributed as a limited edition for the 2007 Modeler's Cup Contest. At the time, three clear versions were released — blue, red, and fully transparent. The MG Zaku II F2 was broadly available in two variants: the Zeon type (space type) and the Federation type (ground type), and this kit is based on the Zeon type.

As the name suggests, this is a kit where all the outer armor comes in deep blue clear parts. Even so, the color is dark enough that you can't really see through to the inner frame. Not that it matters much anyway — the Zaku II F2's frame isn't a full frame like later kits — but the main appeal here is really that lustrous, semi-transparent look of the exterior.

Since the MG Zaku II F2 was already a pretty solid kit to begin with, the Blue Clear Version is just as easy and fun to build. The articulation may fall a bit short compared to newer kits, but the sleek proportions and that chunky, hefty feel — surprisingly un-Zaku-like in the best way — still hold up great. A nice limited edition all around. :-)
