This ice is quite a good representation...it is even too clearly defined, in RL ice cristals are in fact smaller and block very effectively vision (you would probably not see our wing so clearly, it would be more like a shadow). On the other hand it will take time to cover entirely the cockpit interior, and the first ice growth will be little patch by little patch randomly arranged in the coldest areas which will be slowly joining together and then getting some additional thickness if the situation is allowed to continue.
De-icing is usually done only by mean of an electric de-icer or a powerful and sooo cold air flow when non de-icer equipped...and it takes time!
Having cockpit ice in enemy territory is akin to a death sentence!
