With Trumpeters release of the F-100F, there is little market for conversion of the Monogram F-100. There is however 2 which were released well ahead of the Trumpeter F-100F: 

 

F-100F Super Sabre Conversion, War Eagle
North American F-100F, C&H Aero Miniatures (199x)

The Trumpeter F-100F is not accurate and full of errors. Dai

@dai phan I am aware, just pointing out that there hasn't been much love from the aftermarket producers for the old Monogram F-100 beyond the two I linked to. 

That is why I am here to get some help. Fox 3 Studio has them but correspondences have been sporadic. Dai

I'm not familiar enough with the F-100F's differences from the F-100D, or the flaws of the Trumpeter F-100F, but the crazy modeler in me wonders if you could rescribe the Monogram F-100 and kitbash it with the Trumpeter to make your F-100F. It would cost you two kits to make one, but you'd also have to pay a similar amount for a hard-to-find conversion.

 

That said the changes you would incorporate from the Trumpeter kit might not be accurate enough for you. I feel the pain of hunting down conversion kits for underserved subjects, and also not being too thrilled with the more modern offerings if there is one. I've avoided Kitty Hawk's F-101s and am instead trying to convert the Monogram kit to an RF-101C with the DB Conversions kit. I'm still not sure which is the better choice--using an old conversion or trying to fight the Kitty Hawk.
