Styrafoam film

I recently picked up a FM Tornado for a really great price and was pumped up when it arrived in the mail. Great looking example that has decals vice tampo graphics (only draw back). The one issue I have is that when I removed it from the styrafoam sleeve/packaging , a "bonding" of the white foam had begun on the surfaces not covered by the tissue paper. There is a strip of white, rounded dot like film along the leading edge of the tail and right elevator that doesnt want to come off.

I am hesitant to apply any type of cleaner to this area or even try to rub off the reisdue with a finger nail for fear of damaging the decal surface.

Can anyone give me ideas on how I can remove this residue without jacking up the decals on the model?
