Depending on how large the angle is, I did it in the Fokker build thread.
It involved making a jig for the part, rolling the tube, using a very fine piece of sprue on the inside to prevent collapsing the paper, wetting it with rubbing alcohol, forming it and letting it dry. The sprue is then pulled out, leaving the paper only. Here is a post from that thread showing the methodology 1/32 Fokker E.v cutaway

Quick-n-dirty tracks
I'm working on a Siege Tank from Starcraft, and I decided to redesign the tracks. I think I built the front and rear tracks 4 times each before I was happy with them. Then I shelved the whole model for about 4 years, because I was absolutely SICK of making tracks.
At any rate, this is how I make them:
It's not super-accurate with anything. It won't look like Patroch's Warhammer 40K tracks, but looks fairly decent when done. Below are a few pictures of the siege tank track blocks when I finished them, the hole punch I used to cut all the holes (and later on, rivets), and 2 shots of the lovely Meredith, the cat I used to operate. I was NOT the one who dumped her on her side. That was another operator. But it does show a unique angle of her tracks.
