RE: Stripping paint ...

the one thing that I have found that works really well is call Poly's
brush
restorer.  Just soak the miniatures in that for an hour or so and the
paint
just peels off.  Can be used for either arcylic or enamal paint.  You
can
also use it on plastic and resin miniatures, but be careful, the stuff
can
melt the plastic.  I normall soak the model in some water after.  This
seems
to stop the process.

Enamel, Acrylic or what?
First, whatever solvent you use, test on the bottom of the vehicle
first.
I've used non-caustic Oven Cleaner (works adequately on acrylic,
brilliantly on enamel, not-so-well on generic spray white), but TEST
FIRST.
