My DOVO Bismarck has celluloid scales, and it smells a little bit like camera film when I open the box it is stored in. Not strong or nasty, just a slight camera film aroma. I quite like the smell actually, it reminds me of looking through the drawers full of family pictures that my dad took when I was younger! :)
