I have quiet a few old models that i´m thinking using agin in some dio´s but they are painted the old fashion way (Read the instructions and cover the models with tons of wrong colors), plus they were painted with Tamya enamels and i find hard to strip the paint off!Toothbrush, oven cleaner, and the paint is still stuck!Bloody mess!!Any sugestions?

Have you tried Poly-S paint remover? Its supposed to work on most paints. I think Gunze Sangyo has a paint remover in their line also.

I use oven cleaner when stripping enamels and it works great for me. After spraying the cleaner on the model, I leave it soak for couple of hours, even days... It never hurt the resin. In that time the paint should be peeling off with no problems at all.

For acrylics, I use a product that is a little more environmentally friendly... an orange peel oil called "Goo BeGone"... can be found at most hardware shopes. Spray it one, wait 320 minutes, then peel it off or scrape it with a tooth brush. Also excellent for dropped paint, or cleaning dried paint off of your easel or paint trays!
