Building a stealth Phantom eh? Anyway, found it and joining in 🙂
David, the horizontal stabilator feel ram air inlet (the shorter tube) is not a pitot and is as thick as the pitot at its root and only one thickness diameter:
flic.kr/p/2mWMYCN

In your case, would be quite easy to cut the bottom one's thin tube and drill a 0,2 hole in it...

Thanks Sergei, modification's on the way. It's easier just to remove and redo or I might just be able to pull the middle brass rod out from the tube

Beautiful Rhino David...nice subtle painting mate! One question, at picture #9, the paint seems a little bit cracked!? Which paint did you used or gloss layer?

Yeah, I noticed that as well Jos. It was a Humbrol gloss. Won't be using it again. I'm hoping the last Tamiya satin coat will sort it if I apply it lightly and build it up. TBH you don't notice on the model, it's amazing what shows up in close up photography..strange thing is , the rest of the model is also finished in the same gloss clear but hasn't reacted the same as the nose. It's just that red and not the wingtips…

Beautiful result alround 👍
IMHO, photo 11 or 12 should be the teaser in this thread 🤔
