We model the ~1-200 keV spectra of Cygnus X-3 observed by BeppoSAX. The continuum, modeled by Comptonization in a hybrid plasma, is modified by the strongly ionized plasma of the stellar wind of the Wolf-Rayet companion star. Discrete absorption and emission spectral features are modeled with XSTAR. The model has been applied to phase-resolved spectra in the hard and soft spectral states.
