I have no idea if that is even possible.

Try simple green, that usually works on metal and plastic without damaging the models underneath.

I am not sure I will even try to strip them unless someone has a sure-fire way of doing it with out killing the model...

Pretty much no. Pre-paint paint is basically baked onto the model and chemically bonded with the plastic - nothing short of an X-acto knife will get the stuff off. On the other hand, it doesn't obscure any detail and you can prime right over it without losing any details.

This is a good example of how washes and a bit of extra highlighting/weathering can go a long way.

They really do repaint nicely. A lot of mine are overdue for a dip, come to think of it.

One thing to be careful of if you prime them and start from scratch, though - since the plastic is a little flexible, you have to be sure to get primer for plastic, which is less prone to cracking.

thanks for the info... I am very keen to paint them but I did not want to lose any of the details...

It looks pretty ramshackle for a Tau vehicle. Its also a little expensive, for that price you could buy something from FW.
If its what you want, go ahead. It has a big gun which basically fulfills the only expectation I would have of a hammerhead. I certainly wont mind playing against it.
