Hi Tat
These kits are meant to be used together with Warlord Games' "Bolt Action" miniatures table top wargaming rules. I've seen the kits referenced as being from Italeri's "Warlord Series", so I thought I'd clarify this. Italeri is the plastic manufacturer for warlord and all these products are also sold under the Warlord label.
I have started playing this game myself (US troops) and I like the simplified building and painting as a refreshing change from the itty bitty details. Though sometimes there are a few things that really bother me, like the paratroopers holding the BAR like it had a pistol grip. Luckily paras usually weren't equipped with BARs...

Cheers!

Nice looking tanks. Am I correct that "28mm" is equivalent to about 1/56 scale?

If the lower left corner of the box is to believed, then I think, yes.
