With small-scale models, I find it preferable to just hold the model in a way that it will not fall and not breaking off details (mostly an issue with steamers) over ruining the paint job. I've found the combination of breath and a clean, dry brush to be a very effective method for cleaning. Received a second hand diesel yesterday and spent quite a while disassembling and removing dust and animal hair from the in- and outsides. (was amazed that it even ran!) Had to use tweezers to get some dust/hair out of difficult places, so I guess those could be recommended for difficult cases, too.
