That era from 1986 through to the mid-90s was the last hurrah for the gaggle of tiny F1 teams for whom qualification was a major achievement. A generic late-80s F1 slot car shape is an ideal opportunity to churn out loads of 'proper' liveries. That was certainly the case in 1/64 scale, where Tomy, Tyco and Micro Scalextric did Ferrari, Williams, McLaren, Lotus, Benetton and then some fabulous liveries of the smaller teams - and no need for new moulds. I think the same approach has worked well with NSR - no-one expects an NSR to be a perfect scale model, but iconic liveries on a thoroughbred slot racing chassis has been a popular compromise.

There are lots of charts available online of the range of possible period F1 liveries. This is just the 1989 season...

   

Take yer pick NSR
