How to strip an Araldite assembled whitemetal model?

Amongst my 'yet-to-be-started' model kits, I have an old-ish K's 2MT tank loco, an Ebay buy, which the previous owner has part assembled with what looks like Araldite. Lets just say that I reckon it's 'less than satisfactory', so the plan is to disassemble it and start again, this time soldering it together. I seem to recall that one member has previously mentioned how to remove/dissolve or whatever, the Araldite, but I can't seem to find the topic it was in. HELP!

I 've used Nitromors myself some time ago Kim, for varnish stripping from furniture, but it's quite pricey now and definitely not nice to use. The Araldite in question has gone a brownish colour so I reckon it's either fairly old stuff or it might be the kind of resin you mix with powder and fibreglass for car body use......no way of knowing what some folk might have used! I believe nail varnish remover is acetone or acetone based, but I don't reckon Mrs M will have enough of that stuff to dunk a model in!

Here's the offender, Tom. The back of the bunker and the two upper side panels "Came away in my hand, Honest Guv!" From what I can see, the rest of the stuck parts don't seem that well fixed, and there are some gaps, so rather than leave it and 'just add filler', at least if it's soldered, not only will it be a lot stronger, but there shouldn't be any gaps as the solder should run into them. Only slight snag is that once again, it's a kit with no instructions, but I mastered the N Class with none so 'onward and upwards!'

It's a rather basic chassis Tom. It's painted but if the axles have bearings then they're pretty small, rods are fitted (held on by 1 central crankpin nut) and it rolls reasonably. Motor is an open frame type, gear is fitted to one axle, worm is supplied loose but presently can see no way to actually fix the motor unless it's supposed to be at a very odd angle, so will probably use a Mashima and ring Chris Gibbon at Highlevel for one, plus a suitable gearbox when I get around to building it. I'm in no real rush and I already have a 2MT tank I can copy from, but just thought if I strip it ready, then I can start it if I get brassed off with any I happen to be working on. I don't really have a "Naughty Drawer" like Pete, just a "Pending" tray for those jobs that are giving me hassle.....always good to be able to walk away and do something else for a while, then come back with a fresh approach!
