Nah, that's just the pointy end! ;)

The business end is the top deck in front of the conning tower;

Looks like parts off an old tank!
I’m assuming that’s photoshop. I can’t imagine painting up an aircraft to look that way.

It's probably a vinyl decal kerick, CanMilAir does 1:1 ones as a day job, and did scaled decals as an aside (which he has now stopped doing because he can't get spares for his ALPS printer)
