Hmmm... it's been ages since I've seen either of the Terminator movies,
so
I don't have a great idea what the aerial HK looks like, but what you're
proposing sounds a bit like my tilt-turbine VTOL -
http://warbard.iwarp.com/sg2gallery.html, the bottom set of photos -
which
I kitbashed from the body of a Russian Hokum attack helo & the wings and
engines of an A-10, all in 1/144th scale for my 15mm SG2 troops.

That was a fun kitbash, and it's a pretty cool vehicle - it gets lots of
attention when it's on the table, and not just from people trying to
shoot
it down...
