Ochoin,
I mounted my cuirassiers on Revell's 7YW Austrian Dragoon horses. I too do just have a single unit. If you're picky you may argue that the coats of the Saxon Cuirassiers are too short for 7YW. I once saw a conversion using the lower body of Italeri Napoleonic French Dragoons, torso of Zvezda Saxon Cuirassiers and (presumably) Revell 7YW heads with tricornes. It did look awesome, but I couldn't bring myself to go through the fiddly cutting and glueing, and as far as I'm concerned, just changing the heads is ok.
If Strelets WoSS cuirassiers come with front plate only they might be suitable for 7YW. The braid is easily added if you value that detail and the cuffs can be trimmed. Turnbacks may be the main issue, they were already used by some nations during the WoSS (Hanoverians and perhaps Prussians and even Austrians), but not yet very common. So for a WoSS set I'd be happier if they'd have none, but lets wait and see.
By the way: Nice work and a nice trumpeter!
