Hi Chris I'd like to help you, if I can

What do you mean by "Soviet high wheel trailers"?

Cheers

Here's the one used to carry parts of the MdPA-3 pontoon bridge (it was usually towed by a ZiS-5 truck - wheels are the same) :



I'm not sure it's the same trailer pictured here (H2P pontoon bridge ) :




It seems to me that period trailer pics are rather hard to find .

If your trying to replicate a 1940/50s scene , how about fixing the MiniArt Gaz wheels to Master Box's large 4 wheel farm wagon . Or even tank road wheels ( saw a picture somewhere of a farm cart with T-34 wheels ).

2 more trailers :

2-ton AP-2 trailer (1938) :



P-1.5 trailer, designed for GAZ trucks (1939):



Here's a GAZ AA at the Togliatti museum. I don't know if the trailer is a WW2-era one though :
