Did you take the Beluga photo directly after you docked? Or after some outfitting or a ship transfer? I'm pretty sure that the wings only fold when you actively deploy landing gear. So if you jump into the ship from another, or buy it for the first time, the wings stay up. Perhaps going into outfitting has a similar effect? I'll try to test that later.

First stop for the RareBreed at Traders Rest it sure didn't come easy, but the hard work was definitely worth it...
It was after selecting Return to Surface after letting Elvira tinker with my FSD (G5 got me just under 30 Ly. Not as good as I was hoping for). So maybe they fold down when leaving the hangar, but it would make sense to keep them down while inside the hangar to avoid clipping issues with that catwalk in the old-style hangars. Similar to how the Adder's wings fold up despite not really needing to. Anyway, I'll have to test more; it's just the gamepad controls for the debug camera are atrocious.

Very realistic
Some shots with the science FDL 
Nothing fancy, Fomalhaut 5 in the Fomalhaut system.
Fomalhaut is the brightest star in the constellation of Piscis Austrinus and one of the brightest stars in the sky.
I came here because of it's nickname "Great Eye of Sauron" - the system itself, of course, looks nothing like it. Apparently I have to look at it from a great distance, but I'm not going to make that journey on the off-chance that Frontier made it look like Sauron's oculus sinister.

Your screenshots are awesome !

Don't bother making the journey, Frontier didn't make it look that way and rightly so. The nickname derives from the way the system has been imaged by the Hubble telescope, using a coronagraph to mask the glare of the star to make it's disk of dust stand out. The rays that make up for most of the "eye" appearance are artifacts of the coronagraph technique and image enhancing, probably in visible light and from a distance the actual ring is completely invisible, or at the very least is nothing more than a faint glow akin to the zodiacal light (sunlight reflecting off the dust orbiting in the ecliptic plane of the solar system) from Earth.

My destination for this evening was the planet Tres-2b around the star GSC 03549-02811. Although ED refers to this system as Tres-2 and this planet Tres-2 1.
Which is fine, I can handle the wrong names; but what is really a problem is that Tres-2b is supposedly a planet that reflects less than 1% of any light that hits it. This guy? This guy should be near black despite having his face all up in the stars bizniz.

Despite having the orbit lines active for this system, the boundary for the white dwarf didn't show itself until too late. Curiously, I've never had issues with neutron stars! It was an interesting struggle trying to get free from here but alas, the poor ship was being ripped apart by the plumes
If only the canopy was as strong as that xmas tree...
For everyone asking himself if the Python Ship Kit is worth it, this might be helpful in coming to a decision. Not to mention that now i think i got something to rival my Imperial Ships in beauty.
