somewhere in Kazakhstan, the little bird "ptichka", as it was known by some, has been sleeping quietly in an old warehouse, for over a quarter century...

Except for the main engines, their nozzles are a bit too small (if this is one of the space shuttles, off course), but yes, it's otherwise drawn very nicely.

You're right, i thought the Buran didn't have engines except for OMS, because the Energia rocket had.

Ehrm, actually, the Buran only had two main nozzles (the OMS) in the place of the Shuttle's SMEEs, and subsequently didn't include the smaller nozzles, which were the OMS in the Space Shuttle.
The image is still really nice tho.
