They'll tell you that "Simple Green" or brake fluid works the best, but if you're on a lower budget, meths works very well, especially for metal models. Just let the model sit in the liquid for a while (generally over 24 hours) and take out and scrub gently with a toothbrush. Never use acetone, paint stripper (go figure) or turps as they will destroy the model. Brake fluid doesn't destroy the glue either, so it's a good all-round choice. See the link below for a comprehensive list of removers and their effects. Hope this helps! A good place to start is your local hardware store or model shop.

They're UK-based. If you're in the US, then there's a product called "Simple Green" that's intended as a heavy-duty de-greaser for engine parts which serves very well: leave to soak overnight and brush away with a soft toothbrush the next morning. Alternatively, you can apparently use brake fluid. I looked into this a while ago, though, and couldn't work out which of the thousand different types of brake fluid I was supposed to use.
