At first I thought it might have been a breakaway model, used by the likes of Orsen Welles to make a camera appear to pass through a neon sign or window in Citizen Kane, but then I watched the clip and realized this could not be the case.
I have had some experience with motion control cameras, and this certainly seems to have been produced using a track system and large model. Some further digging revealed that the studio model was approximately 8 feet in diameter, which accounts for the astonishing level of detail and the fact that a camera can pass right through it.
