Nothing at the moment, but the new League of Augsburg range will eventually cover these as well.

From memory most of the heavy cavalry of the period wore the cuirass under the coat (with an iron "skull cap" within the tricorn). So the armour is mostly invisible anyway.  Main exceptions were the Austrians and Bavarians, who in any case still wore the "lobster pot" helmet. My WSS heavies use the standard MAL 11.

The problem with using SYW curassiers, particularly the Prussians, is that the full coat skirts have given way to tight turnbacks which would look totally wrong in the earlier period.   
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Could always use SYW cuirassiers as SYW cuirassiers, of course. Far more interesting war.  ;)
