If it is a resin based body then T-cut is the best method but gently does it or you will remove the base layer of paint as well, as it is only a few microns thick.

If it is a diecast body then use nail polish remover and cotton buds, make sure it is acetone based with added vitamins. ( don't ask me why it just works better and I have many years experience of stripping diecasts for conversions)
