I've used Expo Dry Board cleaner as an acrylic paint stripper before.  Takes care of the paint, but leaves the plastic alone.

Once the stuff has dried, getting rid of it from a model will become very difficult. Depending on how severe the damage is, stripping the figure off all of its paint might be the safest way to go. You might put the figure into a tub that leaves little room all around, and then "flood" it with oven cleaner. The foam is stable, and then you wait fro a week and let the stuff creep under any paint that's on the figure. After that, rinse the figure with water and maybe scrub with an old toothbrush - repeat the faom bath, if necessary. Takes time, but is the most effective way to get rid of any paint I could imagine. Maybe the aforementioned Dry Board Cleaner works in a similar way? The oven cleaner does not attack the plastuic at all (unlike brake fluid, which also works wonders but tends to extract softeneres from plastic, leaving it rather brittle).

I've removed Tamiya spray paint using nail polish remover, but I seem to remember that Tamiya isn't your normal acrylic paint so this may not work on Revell Aqua.

Revell Airbrush Clean spray gun cleaner!  Used that on a couple of these Japanese 1/144 trading kits that come pre-painted and pre-assembled. They just laughed at any kind of oven cleaner I tried, but Revell Airbrush Clean did the job in mere seconds!
