HGIBO Gundam Vidar
Super fun kit, as long as you go in expecting to do some painting. Gundam Color Phantom Gray and Gundam Marker Metallic Red were all I needed (besides my panel lining fluid), and I'm pretty happy with the result.
That said, any tips on how to apply the metallic Gundam markers more evenly?

The short answer for metallic Gundam markers is you don't. If you get brush tip markers, you can get a more even coverage, but it's still difficult. You can also draw some of the paint out of the marker onto a dish or palette and apply with a brush.
I moved away from Gundam markers pretty quickly because they're hard to coat evenly outside of detailing.
That panel lining really makes that kit pop. I might go back and add it to my kit because yours looks so good.
