This is the “Super Stealth” vehicle/playset/carry case produced by the Imperial Toy Corporation for use with their “Steel Screamers” die-cast micro jets and planes. The example I own is black but it was also available in dark blue as well as gray. When closed, it can be used as a large plane with functional and retractable landing gear on the underside. When opened, it has compartments for storing micro jets on one side and a series of runways on the other side for use as an airbase playset. There is even a “take-off ramp” that can be raised up.
Interestingly, while the set came with 4 Imperial die-cast jets, no Imperial planes are pictured on the box. Instead, the photograph on the back of the box features a mix of Galoob and Funrise planes. Included in the photograph are: Funrise F-4 Phantom, Funrise F-19 Stealth, Funrise MIG 238N Flogger, Galoob Boeing 747 (NASA and commercial versions), Galoob F-4 Phantom (2 different versions), Galoob F-15 Eagle, Galoob B-1B Bomber, Galoob Concord, Galoob F-18 Hornet, Galoob P-38 Lightning, Galoob A6M Zero, Galoob Corsair F4U (2 different versions), Galoob P-51 Mustang and Galoob Messerschmitt ME109.
