I'm surprised this Classic model wasn't one of the first to be Galleried.
Estes Goblin just naturally falls into one of my favorite Holiday themes for building Rockets that being Halloween.
My first couple D13 powered Goblins were given the cover panel Fluorescent Yellow & Black color scheme..but that just somehow never felt quite right. After loosing Goblin #1 to a D13-5 Cato and #2 to a nasty rocket eating tree. I switches to a more Halloween feeling Orange & Black Paint pattern which i've stayed with ever since. Over time Old #3 started looking pretty ratty (more the 65 flights) so it was rebuilt using as many of the original parts, fins, Nosecone, Motor mount ect as I could. Built a BT-101 based 3X upscale powered by a 5- D12 cluster and had to do a micro 3X downscale as well.
Gotta say I think the Goblin is one of the "gotta have it" Classics for every fleet. I'm sure there are lots of other patterns and color schemes out there
