If the paint you want to remove is ENAMEL, then why pay through the nose for paint stripper? Some brands/types of this stuff can harm the plastic.
The old favorite of using CAUSTIC SODA is very cheap, reliable and very easy to get your hands on. You mix it with water, now what can water do to a plastic model?
It's as safe as the person using it and it does the job, without harming the plastic AT ALL.

It will not remove ACRYLIC paint, if this is the type of paint you have used, then oven cleaner is the way for you to go.

If you have never used any of this stuff before, then give it a go, if you want any further info, just ask.
