Panavia Tornado aerodynamic model

Background

I've got a very long standing interest in the Tornado - as it was the first simulator that I worked on in 1984. I worked on the F2-ADV variant for the RAF, delivered to the TTTE  at Cottesmore (the only reference I can find is this citation http://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/pdfplus/10.1108/eb035909).
Obviously I've sat in and flown the simulator (as pilot and WSO); however it didn't have a visual system, but everything else was there, and it was fun to fly; however I doubt my memory can be relied on for any flight characteristics (not that I even understood what it all was back then). 
I've always planned on making a flight model for the Tornado - but it's a very complicated aircraft in terms of the aerodynamics and the systems that need to be simulated, and then there's all of the fun stuff that you get to use in the backseat.

So I built a model using VSPAERO. This model is not publicly available.
