Hello everyone I posted an in box review of Takom's T-55AM2B here and now that I have finished building the kit would it be proper to post a completed build review as well. However I have not finished weathering the model yet so I would like to finish that before I post anything. Thanks in advance

I would say "Yes".
I did that with the Aoshima Models Road Warrior Mad Max 2 Interceptor 1973 XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe a few tears ago. I did an in-box review of the kit and then did a build blog of it as well detailing how the build went and both the review and blog met with appreciation.
So I say go for it.
Thanks,
Randy

Absolutely. Some kits look great in the box but putting it together would take a miracle. It would be nice to hear how it meets/confounds your expectations.

Publish the build review before painting and weathering. That way it will be easier to see how it fits together before the paint "hides" everything.
Even if you paint and weather it before publishing the review please include images of the unpainted build or build steps.

That's exactly what I'm doing now too. I'm painting Bronco spzb41, and will post it as build log. However, as actual build steps are already in review, I'll post link to review in first post.
In my opinion, well researched builds should be either kept as articles, or as kit reviews, so anyone planing to build the kit can easily access it as reference.

Thanks for the response but unfortunately I already have the base down and have started weathering.
