It certainly is that. And a memorable moment of the film so in that regard Carlo has done well in picking it for the rear of the slip.
The artist is obviously talented and knows how to draw better than I ever could. I understand artists can take artistic liberties, however, I don't know what he was drawing here or why he would take these liberties vs just drawing the actual thing as he imagined it took place.
As an aircraft enthusiast I find I will have to pass on this, as much as I like the film. Here's just a few things that's wrong with it, I could probably say more but this is plenty. Basically it's all wrong...
Aircrafts are generally symmetrical along their longitudinal ceterline. The tomcat is no exception. Show in black arrows are two clearly assymetrical areas of the fuselage. Furthermore, the fixed part of the wings on the tomcat do not start as far forward as the artist would have us think (more or less ahead of the pilot?) on the right, not even a little further back (!!) on the left side... they start approximately where the WSO/Goose is sitting.
I have no clue what the artist is trying to portray at the top right (blue arrow). Very odd.
The whole area in red (bottom left) is another mystery.
The pink arrow shows the rear canopy of the MiG 2(8) over/almost over the pilot. This is incorrect, the rear canopy ends well behind the pilot and even the perspective view of the drawing can't account for that IMO.

Hopefully those of you interested in this edition can forget about my little analysis and enjoy owning it resting on your shelves in the future.
