Yep, Lacquer thinner. Generic lacquer thinner is fine for cleaning up. Don't get it on your model though.
i use their thinner or lacquer to clean.
tamiya 1/48 P-47D $25 + shipping
tamiya 1/48 mosquito $20+ shipping
hobby boss 1/48 F-105G. wings and fuselage cut from sprue. $40+ shipping.
Mr Thinner. Mr Color is formulated to pretty much only work with their thinner. Water, alcohol, and standard paint thinner do not work on Mr Color. Lacquer thinner is the only generic product that I have found that works for cleaning Mr Color.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

true. their paints are rock solid.
which brand do you use? I curently have model master.

I believe it will also thin successfully with Tamiya Lacquer thinner. Tamiya LT and Mr Color Thinner are quite similar.
I am gonna have to look for that stuff as soon as the Tamiya label import issues are a thing of the past here.
their thinner was the first to be relabeled. i see their lacquer and acrylic thinner everywhere now. along with the fine primer and liquid primer. paints are slowly coming in. my hobby shop just got a stock of XF-1 and XF-17. wonder if theirs anything different they did.
so model master thiner will work?

It does. I only have a couple of jars of Mr Color, but TLT (yellow cap) works great as a thinner. Plain old hardware store cheap lacquer thinner cleans ALL my non-water based paints/brushes.

No. Best to go to a hardware store and get a small can of laquer thinner. It's cheap, but don't open/clean brushes in a closed room, you'll get a wicked headache in the near term and other bad things in the long term.
