An DAL 732 widget rerelease would be a better option as the noses were messed up on that last batch. Or maybe even a DC9!

A DC-9 would be great!

A bowling shoe DC-9! Maybe some twin stripes along with it too. This type of thinking is too wishful.
Nope. My 2 Iberia's I received a few months ago, both had loose horizontal stabilizers. No glue applied to them.
My 2 Scoot A321 neos should be arriving tomorrow. So I'll see how good your moulds are. Regardless, thank you for making Scoot models. Hopefully you will consider their A320 neos.
I think I might have to second AKlein's comment here, AC's baby-bus series have been my top choice for A319/320/321, this mould is the one used by Panda and NG I very likely believe. In fact, to this day I think AC makes better A320 series even compared to NG today. The cockpit window is printed corrected unlike NG's (which is a little too small), window line is at the correct height. One thing very annoying is that AC had the correct front gear size wise previously but has since changed that to a bigger one (which is very wrong, A320's front gear is tiny!!!), change it back please AC!!!!

That simply isn't true. The Aeroclassics A321 is decent but it isn't the same.
There are three other good A321s about from Panda, HYJLwings and NG Models. None of them are exact clones of the Aeroclassics A321 or each other. Panda's A321 was made years after the alleged cloning took place of his A320. The new NG models mould is certainly different in several details.
Let's look at some of the differences:
- The Aeroclassics A321 with Sharklets has the wrong wing on it. They just reuse the A320 wing. All of the other moulds have the proper wing with double-slotted flaps
- Aeroclassics don't have a mould for the CFM LEAP engines. They just have one generic NEO engine. Everyone else has both forms.
- The position of the standhole is different on the Panda mould
- The shape of the Sharklets is different on the Panda mould
- Everyone else has superior undercarriage with proper tyre hubs
- Everyone else has added aerials
- The NG Models current A321 is very distinct from the AC version in many details. Not least the form of the vertical stabiliser and the maingear belly doors, wing leading edge etc etc etc.
I suggest you actually start looking at the models more closely.

None of that is to say I dislike the Aeroclassics A321 particularly. Of the 32 I own 8 are Aeroclassics versions like this one:

I only own one A321 and it's the AC Arkia A321, the colors on it seem to be a bit too dark.

One of my favorites also.
Disclaimer: This is not to dis on NG's A321s and that I'd point out that everyone should avoid AC NEO series, the wing is bent, so let's forget about that.
While some of your comments are valid, please address the following two points:
1. Cockpit window is too small on Panda/NG
2. Front gear too big -- take a look at the real photo, the A320 series' front gear has roughly the same height as the cockpit window itself.
I have around 15 NG A321s so I've taken very close looks at them. Now to some of your points:
1. I only noticed PH has that problem, it doesn't occur on my AC ones.
2. NEO so true
3. mostly NEO so true
4. Those tyre hubs look good but there are oversized.
5. Aerials are not a feature I particularly care
6. Of course they have differences, but they have the same ancestors.
I bought a lot of NG A321s recently, and a lot of AC A321s around 10 years ago, when I compare them now the ACs look more realistic.
I understand we all have different tastes when it comes to models, so it's natural we look at them differently. Personally what I look for is the "real feel", which means, nose shape, wing shape (e.g. PH 787), gear size, window size (e.g. JC 747, AC 330), what I DO NOT CARE AT ALL are 1) livery correctness, 2) stabilizer correctness (e.g. difference between A332 and A333), 3) features such as aerials, or like you said the "double-slotted" wing, etc.
BUT, some people def care, so I would suggest everyone just go with your own preferences.

It would be nice to have an opportunity to fleet build, when coupled with the earlier SMA releases
Thank-you for the above remarks!
Unfortunately NG's chief apologist will never address the issues you raise, and will simply divert the subject elsewhere. NG's chief apologist will also come up with some bogus timeline to throw off the IP theft. The FACT is that POS Kang Kai was working out of my factory prior to leaving and stealing some of our IP, and poaching some of our workers.
The factory started by that POS Kang Kai IS THE SAME FACTORY to this day where NG produces their product.
The most interesting note, is that anytime NG and I interacted on the same social media at the same time, they NEVER ONCE denied stealing our Intellectual Property. I know one thing for sure, that if I was ever accused of something I did not do , I would immediately and unequivocally deny it!! They have never done so. Their beginnings come thru lying and cheating, and borderline criminal behavior, but their Chief Apologist will always come to their defense. Says something about him too!!
I will look at the nosegear issue you raise with the A-320 family series, and make any necessary correction.
Thank-you again!

A few extra DC-9s would come in handy.
You're lucky to have missed all the zinc rot of that era!!

Yeah, at least I can be optimistic about that!
There are still plenty of DC-9s in the pipeline!!

I hope we see any of these! (not just dc9!)
