I have always found that Scala is a very challenging film to scan. Right now, because I do not yet have my darkroom set up in the new house, Scala is my standard B&W film. There are many images which look OK on the light table but if they are on the dense side, I give up on scanning them. In Vuescan, I really crank up the brightness, but then I get the scanning artifacts (or "glow" as some people call it). The only advice I can give you is to ensure that you give enough exposure. Even though Scala is a slide film, the rule of exposing for the highlights does not really work--I treat it more like a regular B&W negative film and get better results that way.
