Blackbeard the Bloodthirsty Pirate Figure Model Kit - 1:10 Scale

Bring history's most notorious pirate to life with this classic 1:10 scale figure model kit from Atlantis Models. Based on the legendary Aurora tooling from the 1960s and reissued in 2013 with updated packaging and instructions, this kit captures the fearsome presence of Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard, the most feared pirate of the 16th century.

Historical Background:

Within the rogue's gallery of 16th-century pirates, there were few as feared as Blackbeard. Born as Edward Teach in 1680 in Bristol, England, he trolled the West Indies and the east coast of Britain's North American colonies in search of ill-gotten booty. Upon sight of his ominous sailing ship, "Queen Anne's Revenge," most merchant ships, as well as would-be opponents, would reverse course and retreat lest they become engaged in vicious confrontation with the bloodthirsty sea bandit. Besides his full and flowing beard from which he coined his imposing sailing name, Blackbeard was also known for his coveted buried treasure, that which has yet to be found, even to this day.
