I know this problem well...
Try Brake fluid (DOT4).
I had to resort to using this to remove Tamiya Sprays (TS), as we don't have CSC here, either.
Mr Muscle works well on acrylics - as you've already seen, but for TS (or indeed *many* automotive sprays) DOT4 seems to be the only viable option in countries where Castrol seem to have a blind spot.
Get a large (sealable) tub and place your parts (model parts, not your danglers) in it. Pour over enough DOT4 to cover the parts and replace the lid.
Leave for a few hours and (wearing protective gloves) agitate the parts.
You should find that the paint is visably melting away. You may need to scrub a little then leave it to sit again, but it does work (I know, I've stripped *a few* badly sprayed cars with it). Hey Ho - Practice makes perfect.
Just a couple of notes:
1. DOT4 seems to lose its potency quite quickly. After about 3 models, it's no better than water at stripping paint.
2. Disposal can be a problem. I still have mine, I don't know which is the safest method to get shut of it. (anyone got a use for used/discoloured brake fluid?).
Regards
Mark
