I used the Army Painter spray paint to paint several tanks for the Six day war and the paint has cracked and started coming off. The paint hasn't come off all of the armor just in sections so how do I get it off the rest of the resin model. I've never had to do this before so I don't want to damage the model.

Try Simple Green, but I would try one model first before dumping in the lot. Not all resin is created equal. I used it to strip a Star Trek resin kit, and it worked fine. More recently I used it to strip a GW Finecast Eldar Avatar, and that did not come out fine (resin was rubbery coming out, and looks like that hasn't gone away a few days later!).

Simple Green and a toothbrush. Won't hurt the resin as long as you don't leave the tank in the Simple Green bath for a month.:0

Edit:Garand beat me to it.
