I was wondering if this tank ever served for any Middle-Eastern country?

I bought one yesterday. But I didn't know why I chose it.

No, The Leopard 1 has been exported to 9 Nato lands and Australia. The closest you get to the middle east is Turkey.

Edit: And you chose the Leopard because it is a very good looking Tank...

... the (Italeri) 1A4 actually never served anywhere but Germany. They were rebuild to 1A3 b4 being sold off.
