In case anyone just wants the LaserCut model of the Reichstag without the "plastic" the manufacturer is called "Sarissa-Precision" (in the UK).
They do all the LaserCut models for Italeri incl. "full-sized" front of the "Reichstag" with all five "arched wings" instead of just three.
This is the link for the "five-wing-arched" version:

The Dragon Panzer III Ausf. L (7645) contains all the parts needed to construct the Ausf. M:
-deep wading exhaust and flaps under rear overhang (parts 2, 3, 6, 9) "sprue b" (incorrectly labeled "F" in the instructions)
-sealed brake maintenance hatch in front plate "sprue b part 10"
-sealed engine air intakes "sprue b parts 7 & 8"
-newer model idler adjustment at the rear "sprue b parts 11 - 14"
-Bosch lamp, water-tight "sprue b parts 4 & 5" ==> use only 1x!
-no side exit doors in the hull ==> the adjustment frames molded in the hull need to be removed
!!! beware that quite a lot of the parts of "sprue b" are not shown in the manual but can be found in the kit and in the manual of the older version of this kit Dragon 7290

Beware, it maybe that the mesh for the rear engine hatch is not part of the set (missing in mine)

-resin parts are genereally very good but require clean up of the casting blocks at the front and fitting
==>interior is simplified and lacks ammo racks and the turret seat etc.
==>engine hatches can be posed open but engine needs work
==>superstructure and rear hatch can both be posed open but contain little detail
-white metal parts are of good quality by 1990s standards and can be easily cleaned and bent into correct shape.
==>tracks are simplified but OK with "a little mud"
(see box content for details)
All in all a good to model for 1990s but today the Roden or MaCo / Revell kits contain better details and require less additional work
BUT this model can be easily upgraded with the NH Details PE sets for the MaCo (72-028) and Roden (72-029) sets
