If the tool box is the usual metal one with sharp edges then the aircrew will have a pink fit over it, air turbulence, sharp edges & heads don't match, if it goes in with the baggage handlers they will treat it with the usual contempt, I'd suggest a soft bag with the scope wrapped in a rug of some sorts & take it on with hand luggage, it may cost you extra, but it will be safer, why not think about buying a cheap mount when you get there? Would save lugging it around.
