I don't know of any off hand, but a piece of plastic strip, cut to shape, and a length of stretched sprue, or plastic rod, or, as mentioned, a hypodermic syringe, or brass tube, will easily make a replacement pitot. Many of those in 1/48th scale kits are over scale anyway.
 
Too much of work using the hypodermic needles. Also these have to be soldered. The best way for making a such detail for Spitfire is to use two plastic parts , a piece of polistyrene plate and a thin plastic stick. Of course some of glue is required too.

Mike, that's an oddball one for a Spit.

I'm with Wojtek on the fix. It's a very basic scratch build and no worse that handling a kit part. Glue the support onto the wing first, then attach the tube at the end.
