The Flying Mule store has some excellent pictures and still has a few Corgi Gladiators in stock. See here for a couple examples:
RAF No.73 Sqn, RAF Debden, England, September 1937

RAF No.6 Sqn, Libya, 1941

And just to throw it in because its actually a decent little model, the Oxford Diecast Gladiator MkII, RAF No.615 Sqn, France, 1940
http://www.flyingmule.com/products/OD-AC023
This uses the same tooling as the Corgi model, save without the rigging and rotating prop.

The Corgi Glads are excellent little replicas. Can't say the same for the Oxford version which has no rigging and has its props bent unrealistically forward. Look closely at the picture above and you will see what I mean.
