Reply to "What to use to strip paint off a model"

I've tried just about everything and settled on 91% alcohol.  I made a bath "tube" using an 18" length of 4" pvc pipe with a cap glued to one end for long models like passenger cars and a shorter one (or a metal cake pan) for smaller items.  The pvc pipe will hold at least 2 qts of alcohol.  Stick the passenger car in the bath and let it soak for 3-4 hours then take an old toothbrush to it to remove the paint.  I also use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to get some of the stubborn paint off.  I stopped using brake fluid when I noticed a couple of pieces were getting brittle, seems like brake fluid sucks the life out of the plastic.
