Default Help On Stripping Paint!!!!!!!!!!

To be honest with you, you'd be better off to wet sand until you get most of the paint out, if you use a stripper, you are still going to have to sand, as the paint under those rivets and panel lines is going to become gummy, besides it is very messy, it is advisable to spray the same color or a darker one, was the model primed before, if not, you don't have to remove 100 % of the old paint, just enough to smooth it out and to give some tooth for the new coat, if spraying a much lighter color in something like yellow or light blue, then by all means sand it down to the primer, as these colors have very poor covering abilities. You would be surprised how fast you can wet sand a model.
