Flechette Rocketinflight Effect?

Trying to think of a way to edit the effect for flechette rockets to give off those red puffs of smoke as each layer of flechettes are popped off. Any ideas on how to go about this?

 

I have 2 ideas:

 

1) Edit the RocketInFlightEffect so that along with the exhaust smoke of the rocket, it pops off a quick burst of red smoke in flight.

 

2) Edit the FlechetteEffect so that a puff of red smoke is discharged once the rocket bursts in the air and does a similar ground hit effect as the CBUs

 

 

I have a way to add extra smoke emitters that are set to go off at increasingly delayed intervals to give little red puffs as the rocket travels along?

 

For those that don't know what I'm try to re-create:
