Some of the stronger paint solvents can clean Maskol but if you're covering larger areas an alternitive could be to use cotton buds (or Q-tips to our U.S. cousins). Also, toothpicks are handy for more precise aplications around cockpit canopys etc.

Tigeriv,
how long did you leave the Maskol on ? Because, IIRC, there is actually a warning on the bottle to not leave it on for over 24 hours, as then it could/will damage the paint.
Many masking tapes for house-painting actuallu can suffer the same problem (depending on the material applied to).
Still, a shame to hear you have trashed a model.
Cheers,
Harm
