As the title states, I recently bought some models off ebay and the previous owner used rubber cement to put pieces together. The stuff is all over the place and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction so I don't mess up the plastic trying to remove it. Thanks for any tips in advance.

Could try putting them in the freezer to get the stuff good and brittle, or even drop it into Simple Green and hope it dissolves.

Rubber cement should just peel off. It will be time consuming, but that's the best way I know to remove it. We used to use it as a masking agent back in ye days of olde.
