When its acrylic, try ovenspray! That works fine! With enamels... Turpentine?

Hunter never ever use Tupentine use Easy- Off Oven Spray get a zip lock bag place your kit inside and spray a good amount into bag and of course close the bag and depending how old paint is leave over night then wash off with water and use a tooth brush for the corners.
Now if is a water base paint just use metholayted spirts and a normal paint brush and the paint will just start to come off you can soak it as much as you like in an ice cream container and will not harm your kit in anyway.
Using turpintine will soften or start to melt the plastic if your kits are made of resin only use oven cleaner as methlated spirits will cause damage as will turpentine.
With kind regards and happy thoughts.

Soak overnight in brake fluid. It won't eat plastic but will soften the paint, so you can use a toothbrush to remove the paint. You can re-use the brake fluid over and over... but don't throw down the drain or in the trash, you have to take it to the hazardous fluids disposal place at the dump. Also, don't use the toothbrush for brushing your teeth after this... just saying.

I heard the Brake fluid is the best way, although never had the need to strip a model

I've also tried a cleaning product called "Simple Green"... but it doesn't work as well as brake fluid. But it is eco-friendly. Ya just have to soak longer, brush and re-soak.

Ill try both =)

I Think the break fluid dates back to when everybody used Enamels and makes sence since oil based paints cure to be a almost indestructable coating, the simple green is a very good concentrated degreaser I used it for detailing full size cars and did wonders cleaning just about anything including gunky Engines there is another product I use to remove old and dryed up latex paint called Krud cutter maybe we should give it a try I know works very good on latex paint and wont damage plastic
