Got interested in the question, so I looked it up on Wikipedia and 28mm is equivilent to 1:72 to 1:76 scale or there abouts. Link here - Miniature figure (gaming) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hope that helps.

yep that's right 28mm is just over an inch so is about 1/72nd scale
to get a 1/35th compatible figure 54mm would be ok.Comment

At 1/72 scale, 28 mm works out to about 79 inches which is 6 foot 7 inches. It is oversize for an average figure, but it wouldn't show too much if your figure is wearing a helmet or if it's crouched or kneeling. As long as you don't stand them right next to true 1/72 figures or next to obvious size references - like a normal doorway on a house for instance - you'll probably not notice.
At 1/76 scale, 28 mm works out to about 84 inches which is 7 foot. Your figures would definitely look wrong compared to other figures in this scale.

just after i posted last night i noticed you'd said "i'm looking fuel tins" Stephen, if it's just the accessories you're wanting to add then 28mm will be ok for 1/72 and 54mm will be ok for 1/35.
There'll only be a minimum scale error difference in things like oil drums, boxes, buildings etc - the eye won't even probably pick it up if it in a diorama.Comment

Simple reply is for the 1/35 scale tank you will want to look at 54mm figures.
for the 28mm figures you will want to be looking for 1/72 scale kits.
