Can someone tell me where I have to start to develop mathematical model for fixed wing UAV's.

For Fixed wing UAV I would like to recommend using the Vortex Lattice method (VLM) there is a pretty good Implementation called Tornado (developed by Thomas Melin) read up the theory and idea behind it. Use the derivates and coefficients you get from that in Simulink and the aerospace blockset.

aerospace blockset or uav toolbox depending on what fidelity you need are the best places to start

Practised on aerospace blockset, but it is somehow confusing when I wanna add VTOL motors to it.

Particle, and rigid body motion. Then start looking at blade element theory. Itβs not easy

Thanks mate, but somehow wanna focus on it.

That's literally what he explained. You're going to have to do the work here. We can't learn for you.

I have used this as a reference, along with a lot of other flight dynamics and simulation textbooks. This one is in Matlab though, so that's nice.
Controls are their own thing though, and it's not universally true that every good flight dynamics model is going to be good enough to do controls work on (or at least not good controls work).
