My KX3 has the Sidekicks, Fred's heatsink, etc.
Plenty of room, but not too much. A very good fit.

LowePro does have a very good bag finder guide
on their website, and the BestBuy in my area
carries quite a few of their bags, if you don't
have a larger camera shop in your area. I have
used many of their products for a few decades
and it's all holding up well. REI also has some
of their bags, as well as some photog type bags
from MountainSmith.
Seeing a few comments about them, I ordered a
StrobeStuff bag from ThinkTank, but returned
it. I felt it is far bulkier than need be and
doesn't offer protection for much beyond light
bumps or scrapes, and I found it clumsy to get
a KX3 into it, even w/o heatsink, SideKX's or
Lexan cover, because of the center opening
zipper. Might have been easier with a Lexan
cover installed, preventing it from trying to
hang up on the zipper. A snug fitting
Polarfleece type stuff bag or something like a
thick sock would offer about as much protection
with minimal additional bulk, if one were going
to carry it packed away in a backpack, for
example. For carrying just the KX3 and a few
accessories, on a bicycle, motorcycle or in the
trunk of a vehicle, something like the Pelican
1200 or a well padded photog type case or pack
is probably the best insurance. I've taken
expensive camera & radio gear off road on the
back of a dual sport motorcycle in Pelican
1200, 1300 & 1400 cases with no con
ce
rns about the welfare of the contents.

Sorry, Jim, but there's no model number
anywhere on or in the bag. I've owned this
bag for many years, so it's likely been
discontinued. I used it to transport an Icom
703 for a long time before I got the KX3. I
just reconfigured the dividers as required.
My suggestion is to visit a large camera
store (the kind of place where professional
photographers shop) and see what they have to
offer. That's how I found my bag. Maybe look
at the web sites of some of the big national
camera stores, like B & H Photo & Video, Ritz
Camera (where I buy a lot of my photo gear),
and so on. Your bag is out there...
