OOPS, when I saw the subject, I though you were looking for advice on how to paint stripes on a model, which is "striping". I see from you post that you wi***o strip paint from a model, which is "stripping"
Perhaps you can see why some of us still consider spelling important!
Anyhow, I have used Easy Off Oven Cleaner, sprayed on the body, which is then placed in a ZipLoc bag and left overnight. The paint washes right off in the morning.

gmc,
After you disassemble it here are two you could try.
90% rubbing alcohol in a container large enough for your trolley. Let it
soak a few minutes then scrub with a toothbrush ( not the one you use).
Or you can use Polly Scales ELO (EASY LIFT OFF) . Just follow the instr-
uctions on the label. Hope this helps.
