Default stripping paint

Hi, I'm trying to get the paint off an original Tamiya Blackfoot body (abs?). Does anyone know if 'easy off' will harm it? I need to strip it so I can xtra cab mod it and do some assorted body work.

Thanks.
Dave

I have heard that Purple Power works, but I haven't tried it yet. I bought some at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago.

I'm old school.....I use sandpaper on hardbodies....
Most likely, you'll be needing to sand it anyway regardless of what chemicals ya use to strip the paint...
