I tell you one thing I have used in the past has been automotive hot tank solution. If you locate the stuff for iron, it carries a PH of 13 and is really mean. Dipping into cold solution, it will remove epoxy and urethane type paints, besides your common lacquer, enamel and alclyd based products.

Works great on a fiberglass nose or fuselage. Exposes the scratches so that you can Bondo them up and refinish. Removes old Bondo too.

If water will not hurt your model, then it is OK to go ahead with on cold basis. Heat it up to about 140-160, and oils then come flowing out too. Use soapy Brillo pad to finish up with and it is ready to paint. If you are not used to it, don't try it.
