If it was painted with humbrol or similar, try some of those sprays to clean ovens.
If it was painted with acrylics, try deeping it in alcohol.

This is a very basic information, I think that you can find more about stripping models in the FAQ.

I have a solution called E-Safe. Its a blue liquid for removing paint off plastic. I bought it from a local hobby shop called House of Hobbies (houseofhobbies.com) Its a blue liquid you pour on a deep dish or something similar. I used a plastic rectangular container with a lid. According to the guys at the hobby shop, you need to keep the solution sealed at all times, or it will not work properly. You basically dip your car into the solution, and let it rest for a few hours. I used this on an Integra myself. After a few hours of being submerged in the liquid, you wipe the paint off. Some curved areas might require you to wipe off with a rag, but the paint in smooth surfaces will come off on its own. They also sell another stronger solution, but you need to apply and wipe off right away because it can damage the plastic if its on too long. I love Integras so i went for the safer solution than risk destroying my model. It worked well. I've also heard Easy-Off works but i've never tried it. In case you dont know, Easy-Off is a kitchen oven cleaning solution. Perhaps auto shops will have something, but be careful its not strong enough to destroy plastic. My opinion is to look for something at the hobby shops near you. If they dont have it then ask where you can get it. Some hobby stores will actually order something for you if they dont have it. Good Luck bro.
