A heat gun for the initial removal.
Then you will need a combination of Acetone and sandpaper.
Use the Acetone in a well ventilated area - outside, if possible.
Good Luck,

Just stripped my 4Star60 kit. Heat gun, mini needle nose pliers and acetone. Be careful when you're tossing the plane over to get at pieces of film - the turtle deck stringers break very easily.
Just thought of a potential issue. Ultracote (my covering) has clear adhesive - the color is in the top material. Monokote has colored adhesive with a clear top material. You will leave color behind with Monokote - clean up with Acetone will be necessary and like not entirely successful.
