Windex or alcohol. Windex works best.

just wipe it off...

If you sprayed with enamel you could just spray the windex directly on the model and let it sit for a sec then wipe it off... I would be wary of doing that with acrylics because it might strip them too...

With acrylics definitely spray on the towel first...

You shouldn't need to let it soak. Windex will usually wipe out Future IMMEDIATELY. As Tom mentioned, spray it on a towel and wipe it off. I'd recommend using something lint free.

It's the ammonia in the Windex that does the trick. No soaking required.

Yep, but using plain old ammonia is rough on the nose which is why I recommended Windex instead. You are absolutely right though, if you can stand the smell plain anhydrous ammonia will dissolve it in a hurry.

Good to know, as I plan on playing with weathering using an enamel base coat with acrylics to test my masking/other abilities. I'll paint it WHATEVER using the acrylics, then top it with the Future (testing my weathering/whatever you call it along the way). Once done, Windex that sucker and start over. Sound about right?...
