Like the Piper Maru that the assembled team reached the Whaling Station in Bouvetøya, the grey Agusta 109 was constructed purely as a model miniature and filmed in a water tank along with the ice breaker. John Burno visual effects supervisor constructed all miniatures on set for the satellite, icebreaker, chopper, pyramid and all the buildings around the Razorback Whaling Station. The Agusta 109's model stood about 3' tall by 8' long and was painted white so post production colours and effects could be added.
