You should be good after a day or two. Just be very light with the clear red. I used Zero paints for my Revell version of this kit and laid down the clear red too heavy so it totally removed the candy red effect. I just sold my Fujimi F2007 because I have way too many kits, but I hope to build it some day with the correct red as it was striking in person.

Thanks for that! I will be careful with how much red I use.

The clear red coat turns out very good!
I have the Revell F2007 half made and stop. I was a bit scare about this painting scheme. See yours gives me some confidence to go on and paint the body.

That paint looks so good, it's almost a shame to put decals on it!

It looks absolutely great!
Nice candy apple red color. Very convincing.
I did the same thing as you with the decals, applied masking tape on a decal, and then pulled both off.
I was able to however rescue the decal by using a brand new scalpel blade and slicing the decal of the masking tape.
Felt like a surgeon doing that:
Note that you need a brand new scalpel as it needs to be really sharp.
Then it was a matter of using white spirits to remove the masking tape glue from the decal, and reapplying it, using generous amounts of decal setting solution.
Good luck, it looks to become a good model!
