Kevin, your model looked most excellent in flight! I hope to see a lot more of that airplane. 
Excellent pics from Pat Fernandez too!
My email address is: [email protected]. I do the AIM-7s, gunpods, and other goodies.
I may do a Rev A on the AIM-7s and shorten them, per Ozie and Kevin's inputs. The aft missile troughs are fine, but the fwd missile troughs are a bit short on the model (others have also noted the forward fuselage being a bit short - this all agrees with the troughs).
Even though I usually build oddball subjects, the F-4 is my all time favorite airplane.

We could make LAU-10 / Zuni rockets if people are interested. They are simple pods that hold 4 rockets of 5" diameter. I was actually looking at making rocket launchers for my MiG-21, which has a more interesting shape...
LAU-10 launcher for Zuni rockets
UB-16 (or similar) rocket launcher for Russkie jets

My Feedback: (1)
As Buck said, the battery holders are made by Ron Schwarzkopf, RSMP. They are simple little 3D printed holders that the A-123 packs fit in perfectly, and are held in place by a single velcro strap. They made it possible for me to make the battery tray. It allows all the batteries to be installed/removed together, and is held in place with two screws. Works great.
