Yes it is but do be carefull, you need to work in a well ventilated area and mask the rest of the model well. I would tend to go for a very carefull sanding down myself as you stand to do more damage with the acetone if you are not carefull and there is as much potential for removing detail with it.

All the detail can be replaced and the sanding is probably more controllable. I would use find wet and dry wrapped around a small block of wood. You will be surprised at how effective this can be for removing excess plastic or filler.
