I very much doubt the "Body on" photos will get you featured in a magazine even with a pro photographer, the body is too narrow/track too wide so the wheels/tyres stick out from the body instead of being flush, the body posts are too long all round, I cant tell 100% but the front wheel arches look as thought they may have been cut a little raggedly and need sanding to a smooth curve, the rear wheels look like they are long way from being centred in the wheel arches but maybe that comes from the angle of the photo and the fact that the wheels don't sit flush with the body, the rear wing is either twisted or not cut straight you can see its back edge sloping down on the right hand side (left side in the pics as viewed from the front), aesthetically the paint would look a lot better if the blue cobra stripes were full length and continued along the roof and back end as well as the front it looks a little disjointed as is, I personally don't care for carbon effect trim or paint on a scale body the weave is generally way too big to be scale but I have seen plenty in mags so I doubt it will score you down.
Personally I wouldnt advertise it as being 70+MPH when I had no idea how fast it really is, I don't see this speed bragging based on mates guestimates of your speed as a good way to get into the magazines.
At three minutes four seconds, that's one long video for 39 seconds of footage!
