I am currently converting a Trumpeter 1/32nd F-8E to a F-8J and have done a good deal of research on the F-8. What s your questions?

The canopy curve as viewed from the back, looking forward. On the Monogram kit, it has a curve like an A-7. The Hasegawa kit, has a more tri-angular shape. Kinda like an F-106 but w/ a rounded apex. The windscreens and canopies don't match-up when cross-matched. This effects both a F-8 build and a YA-7F build I 've got going. Thanx for the reply, Michael.
