Eddie is your intention to remove the paint or simply to clean it? Brake fluid will remove it but will also soak into any bare wood and upset the surface of any subsequent painting.

I would try cleaning it first with a damp cloth, bearing in mind that the water will soak into any bare wood as well. If that doesn't work turpentine substitute will be worth trying. If it is a good enamel it shouldn't disturb the paint anyway.

If they fail I would be tempted to very gently clean and prepare the surface with a very fine wet and dry paper and then apply a new top coat of modelling enamel paint.
